Burst pipe causes water damage to Memorial Stadium's new West Side

The University of Illinois is cleaning up after a burst water pipe caused damage to the newly remodeled Memorial Stadium.

On Dec. 23, a contractor discovered several inches of water on the floor of the Colonnades Club, the third-floor lounge and seating area in the stadium.

Apparently a water pipe on the fifth level of the stadium's west side froze, then later burst, causing water to gush down through the ceiling and to the levels below, according to UI Division of Intercollegiate Athletics spokesman Kent Brown.
