Renovations To Bring Refreshed Home Arena For ORU Golden Eagles
The ORU Golden Eagles are getting a refreshed home arena fitting for a team that made a miracle run in this year s tournament.
It’s been 39 years since the last renovation of the Mabee Center, so it’s out with the iconic gold seats – and in with the blue.
The Golden Eagles hope to keep their momentum going after their Sweet 16 run this past March in the NCAA Tournament. I think the renovations is a testament to our players and them putting in the work and the school wanting to get behind them and show in these types of ways, said ORU Head Coach Paul Mills.
