This was the Rupp Arena color scheme in 2000. Not that long ago

Remember when @Rupp_Arena looked like this (in 2000)? Now it's all blue http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/counties/fayette-county/article89317437.html… @KYPhotoArchivepic.twitter.com/1LyEy3w0hG

Yep the all blue is better

Imo Rupp looks a thousand times better with these recent improvements. I can't wait to see how it looks once the new scoreboard is put in. I know it's not a major renovation or a new arena like many have wanted but it's still a great place to watch a game.

I did. Sister threw up nachos and sprite during the second period, which was about the same color as those seats.

Yup. I was playing youth hockey, in Louisville, at the time and got to play a game there.

I went to about 40 between 1996 and 1998.

Funny to think Lexington had a minor league hockey team based solely off the sales of an Ashley Judd poster.
