Now that we are getting a new Indoor facility for the majority of our teams on campus what does this mean for Hortons future. I think that the new AD should consider turning it into a state of the art indoor track and field facility. It has the space to add a banked track over the current track so there would be no need to redo the current floor and you can leave it as the track surface. However you would have to redo the bleachers that hang over the current track to make it more spectator friendly. But given the stands and the space of Horton I think this would be a good idea to consider. Adding a banked indoor facility would attract schools to come to more meets and the IHSA could host their indoor state meet there. It would be the only banked indoor in the central Illinois area with the only other being at the new gatley park in Chicago. I am a ISU sports management student so I have a lot of ideas about ways to better the ISU athletic facilities if anyone would like to hear my entire plan I can create a new thread for that.
