Iowa misses golden opportunity to thrash Hoosiers in Assembly Hall on ESPN prime-time.

And just how does a steel beam just fall off of the ceiling?

It wasn't really a beam, more like a piece of metal facing.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

had it happened with people sitting in those seats - someone would have at least likely been injured... likely killed.

Pretty scary.

Notice how many people are in there looking around. Don't they know they could also be hit by the Super Beam Metal fragment? Jesus people! Get outta there!!!

Thank God it didnt happen during the game. Those seats are destroyed. If it's still in the 50s find a school yard and settle this thing outside.

I blame this on Russia.

I would think finding another venue would be easy. Where the Pacers play? Indiana State? Purdue? I don't see the building getting a safe evaluation if metal facing is just falling. Gotta move it.

This is an obvious prank. Steel beams that are part of the structure don't fall straight down.

Heard on Murph & Andy a "report" that they are seriously looking into moving this to where the Pacers play for a Wednesday game, for what it's worth

I wish someone would show a picture of the ceiling where it fell from for my own curiosity.

I think that's exactly where my ex-wife has her season tickets. Damn.

I say it was the ghosts of Assembly Hall trying to keep their team from having a big defeat and this was the only way they could put it off for now.

So, it looks like WI is next?

 

[22hawkeyes]

Indiana forfeits right?

 

[atxhawk]

Assembly Required Hall?

 

[Zamboni08]

The team is on their way back.

yep, good thing that came down when the place was empty.

 

[tksirius]

The team is on their way back.

Serious? No other venue could support?

 

[eveningnewsteam]

The team is on their way back.

No they arent. Still at the hotel

 

[CPHAWK82]

I'm hearing they're still hoping for Bankers Life Fieldhouse tomorrow.

 

[CPHAWK82]

Ok now I'm hearing the Fieldhouse is a "no go" Team is heading back and schools are trying to reschedule.

This is as per Brendan Stiles twitter feed.
