    caption nits: 1.) 5th picture--paneling is outside the common area between locker rooms. You can see the orange & blue painted round wall of one of the locker rooms beyond that. 2.) 12th pic--those are 5 separate interactive screens for fans to look up a variety of historical things. 3.)...

    Given a tour of the SFC on Saturday by Warren Hood and some guy named Josh, along with a small UIF group. Scoreboard is really big. ;-) The 4 corner panels were on the floor--not yet installed. Basically blue metal panels with a large Block-I near the top. Mostly toured the lounge...

    So, what's it gonna be, once-a-month updates at fightingillini.com? Sure hope the Illini women like their new locker room. There have been a couple of pix on the interwebs. Strikes this old fart as rather garish. Also seems like very tight quarters for the 4 lockers in the corners (2 in each...
