Purdue Athletics is fixing one of my only qualms about going to a game in Mackey Arena. Purdue will be installing brand new video boards in the off-season to be ready for the 50th anniversary of our beloved Mackey Arena during the 2017-2018 season. The news was just made official with a tweet and press release.
