Heartbeat of Mackey Arena

Jinwon Park

This is Mackey Arena, the home of Purdue Basketball.

In this court, all the spotlights goes to the star players and the head coach.

However, is Mackey Arena only for the players?

It has something more.

The Paint Crew, Purdue Basketball fan club, is also a big part of the Mackey Arena.

They give energy to the players while...

Intimidating the Opposing teams.

Purdue’s All-American Marching band also creates a great show during time-outs and half-times.

Purdue’s cheerleading team also makes the game interesting with their dynamic routines.

Players + Basketball court ≠ Mackey Arena

Mackey Arena = Diversity
