OGDEN Call it the end of an era for a 40-year-old piece of Weber State University s campus.
Crews this week tore down the Dee Events Center marquee, which became a relic of past state-of-the-art technology. It was torn down to make an easier route for a new rapid bus transit system coming to Ogden.
The Dee Events Center opened in 1977 but if you ve ever been there, you know the building is tucked away from one of its primary entrances off of Harrison Boulevard. Hence, the desire formed for a marquee informing people of the entrance and the events happening at the venue.
