CEDARVILLE, Ohio - The Callan Athletic Center has an updated sparkling appearance! Highlighting a summer overhaul are new bleachers featuring VIP seats as well as new scoreboards.

Service Supply Ltd., Inc. of Columbus, Ohio took control of the job which also entailed refinishing the wood floor and repainting all of the walls. The work began in mid-to-late March and was finished by early June just in time for the start of the busy summer camp schedule.

The original wooden bleachers that had been in the building since it opened in 1981 were removed. They were replaced by state-of-the-art bleachers with navy blue plastic contour seats.

The south bleachers on the press box side of the facility include 96 VIP stadium-style seats. Fans will ultimately have the ability to purchase season ticket packages for the special section located at mid-court behind the score table.

Both sets of bleachers have five aisles instead of three with hand rails in each running from floor level to the top row. The new seating improves the aesthetics of the facility and provides added comfort for fans of the Yellow Jackets' popular home events.

The main center scoreboard as well as the boards on the east and west ends were replaced. All of the LCD boards have space to spell team names over the scoring columns. The end boards can post jersey numbers, personal fouls, and points scored of players during basketball games.

Another interesting feature that most fans won't see is additional score board clocks have been mounted in the officials' locker room area, the visitors' locker room, and the CU men's and women's basketball locker rooms. This will allow people in those areas to easily monitor how much time remains during pre-game and halftime.
