Love it. End of last season I was talking with a couple of people from the athletic department and they were mentioning this was the goal for the offseason. Glad they were able to get it done.

This is bad ass!!! FINALLY - long overdue, looks totally fantastic! Pumped to see this in action - nice job by the admin!
And IF this was truly a win due to the Pres, which is always hard to tell whether she was actually involved or just the usual empty back slapping to the Pres, then I would be thrilled and give major kudos to her as well. It's the little things that matter - it's the environment, the game day experience, the hype, the facilities, ALL of this stuff matters when working to put out a top quality D1 product.
I don't know enough about her yet, but really hoping she 'gets' the importance of athletics and re-energizes a proper focus on it.

What a lot of other schools have been doing for a long time!! It's long overdue.
Re: New Lighting for the Mack
Seriously... this should've been done about, oh, a decade ago. But this kind of late to the game stuff has been the norm for HU's admin sadly.
That said, no negative helps here, it's finally done and it looks great - can only help the experience and atmosphere - very happy!
Who gets the real credit here? That's what I want to know - is this a win from the new President, a win for AD Cole finally, someone else?? I know these things are never from just one person, but I'm sure you all understand what is meant here in terms of which person really drove this home and actually 'gets it' when it comes to D1 athletics...
