I'd hate to see the old girl die. I know the footprints are not the same but I would love to see ISU do something with Horton similar to what Michigan State did with Jenison Fieldhouse. I've been to gymnastics and track meets there and it is a great venue. It's easy to pull out the wrecking ball and have at it but Horton is a special place and could be put to better use.

My son wrestled in the UW Field House next to Camp Randall. Another great building! Just not for track.;)
Not track - but they've gussied it up real nice for wrestling and volleyball. Finally fixing (maybe already finished) the upper balcony to make it safe for fans.

They clearly don't care about Horton. It's dirty and needs lots of repair and has for a while. I know on the north end there are broken pieces of glass that have been that way for as long as I can remember.

Well the west bleachers have to be upgraded to finish the horseshoe at Hancock. So,do a facelift for the indoor track and gymnastics at the same time. Open up the east side of Horton and facelift seating on the west side of Horton. Then that would resolve 3 problems at one time. Also, Volleyball and WBB are top 30 programs and deserve to be in RBA more than mbb at this time.
