Mackey Arena Brick Campaign

Mackey Brick Order Form Get Acrobat Reader

As we continue the great undertaking that is the Mackey Complex project, we want to share with you this opportunity to be a part of history. Mackey Arena has a rich tradition of being one of the top college basketball arenas in the Big Ten Conference and across the country. After 40-plus years as home to the Purdue Boilermakers, Mackey Arena is being updated to better serve our student-athletes and the faithful fans who have helped the Boilermakers win more than 80 percent of their home games. The project is designed to complement not only the basketball venue, but also benefit each of the university's 500-plus student-athletes. Improvements to Mackey include arena premium seating, new ticket office, additional concession and restroom facilities, and wider concourses for fans. It also provides an opportunity to expand the academic, athletic and training facilities to benefit the needs of all our student-athletes. The scheduled completion of the project is 2011-12.

When the project is completed, Mackey Arena will be transformed into the new front door of Purdue Athletics. The landscape surrounding Mackey Arena will become beautiful plaza space, filled with sculptures, benches and green space. The Sally and Bob Weist Plaza, located on the north end of the new Mackey Arena expansion, will be the main entrance into the administrative and ticket offices, as well as Mackey Arena itself. It also will display the Purdue Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame, commemorating the accomplishment of these outstanding student-athletes. The Sally and Bob Weist Plaza will be a semicircular gathering place located in the heart of Purdue Athletics and will be the permanent home of your commemorative brick paver. With your contribution, the plaza will become a centerpiece landmark of Purdue Athletics - celebrating the deep and continuing tradition of the Boilermakers.

The Mackey Brick Campaign is designed to give you a unique opportunity to show your Boilermaker pride. Be recognized as a donor to the revitalized Mackey Arena by purchasing a brick inscribed with your name or the name of someone to honor or remember.
