    If only the game had a 5,000 foot court we’d have won the whole damn thing

    Hear, hear. As a longstanding member of the Aging Illini I thank you. Not that every renovation needs to cater to just the older folks, but some basic accommodation such as seat backs and hand rails would be nice. Only thing I'd add is the width (pitch?) of the walking area within the seating...
