Assembly Hall, meanwhile, was widely viewed as a link to an Indiana history that should not be defaced or disturbed. Athletic director Fred Glass knew better.
So when Cindy Simon Skjodt, an Indiana alum and the daughter of Mel Simon, the late Indiana Pacers co-owner, offered $40 million gift to give the arena a new look, Glass took it and began the quest of turning the hall into a basketball mecca for a whole new generation of Indiana fans.
