I Miss You, Mackey Arena

I miss you, Mackey Arena.

I miss everything about those special evenings with 14,000 other Boilermakers, rattling the opposing team.

I miss seeing the desire to win in person and the appreciation this team shows to the 14,000 strong in attendance.

I miss seeing it all in person, seeing Coach Painter make adjustments, see the chicken man dance in the front row of the “Paint Crew”.

I miss it all.

It is hard to not believe that tonight, when Coach Painter’s young Boilermaker team hosts a Top 10 Michigan Team that Mackey Arena would not be the loudest Arena in the United States of America.
