let's just say many years of fear from the visiting teams.....

Poor choice of plastic. Some yellow from age and/or UV exposure.

Check recent pic on men's basketball forum "new Gampel video". Was in there today. New wrapped panels are a very bright white. Will look great when all done.

It's 5/6 posts back here...?

It's nationally recognized as The Home Of 11 time National Champion UConn....By whom you ask , WCBB.

And that's something no one else can say. I am sure fans that visit Cameron Indoor Stadium for games would love to have that title. Small and cramped as it may be.

Being nationally recognized and historic are two different things.

But why would that explain the ceiling being yellow ?

Still droning on about this? Probably the single most iconic game in the history of woman's college basketball took place there over two decades ago. There have been many others since. National commentators use that phrase is before the start of pretty much every game.

Not sure why you trolling on this. You are typically a pretty good guest here.

What you say is true............Cameron Indoor Stadium is recognized and historic......For what the Men have done! Coach K is the reason. Coach K calls Cameron Home. When your WCBB program puts a NC trophy in there then it can claim some history. I'll even settle for the next NCAA Regional Trophy to add some history. I won't even ask for a FF. Heck , I'll settle for the next ACC Championship Trophy. My point being that Recognition and Historic can go hand in hand. Or when that winning team calls a certain place its Home.

Evaporation....

Good start and at least a dozen different probabilities for the color change. None we could factually state
with out more, specific, information.

Say it on the USC forum and tell us where to find it--sounds exciting.

Hehe no, not there, either. I could say it in the cesspool.

They picked the wrong color to begin with. White will discolor over time...just ask your teeth, if you have them! All that inhaling...exhaling at games has nowhere to go but up.

I'll say it again - Flex Seal. If it is strong enough to make a boat out a screen door, it's strong to seal the Gampel roof.

and if UConn buys one can now they'll give them a second one at no additional cost, UConn just pays shipping and handling...................

Why does that photo remind me of some Curiosity Rover's photos on Mars ?

Because it has a similar pattern to the rover's solar panels.

Wonder how it yellowed so badly.

it is a reflection of visiting teams. pissing all over themselves. because of all the banners that are not available to others.
