S
outhern Illinois University opened up the renovated SIU
Arena during the 2010-11 season and the experience of
attending a Saluki game has forever changed. The old
arena was serviceable, but memorable only for the action on the
court — not for fan comfort or amenities.
The main entrance on the east side of the building is more than
three times as big as the old entry. It features a Team Store, Hall
of Fame and a spacious area for fans to gather before entering the
concourse.
Once inside the concourse, fans discover expanded concession
areas, flat-screen TVs at every turn and new restrooms. A trip
around the concourse is like taking a stroll down memory lane with
wall-to-wall photos and graphics. From Walt Frazier to the ESPN
Gameday visit, all of the historic moments in Saluki Basketball are
captured and displayed.
As soon as you step inside the seating bowl, there is an
overwhelming sensation of Saluki pride. The multi-colored seating
of year’s past has been replaced with solid maroon. Large graphics
adorn each corner of the building. The sparkling new video board
looks like a giant plasma TV. The roof, which was re-painted white,
creates a clean, crisp setting.
Gone are the creaky, wooden bleachers. In fact, the upper bowl
features some of the arena’s most comfortable seats and best sight
lines. It’s an old cliche, but there’s not a bad seat in the house.
The court itself has been resurfaced and re-painted and sports
