    Idaho State University's Holt Arena Renamed to ICCU Dome Following Donation

    Takeaways:

    • The Idaho State Board of Education approved the renaming of ISU's Holt Arena to the ICCU Dome following a unanimous vote.

    • The name change is associated with a $6 million donation from Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) over 12 years, which will support the university's athletic programs.

    • The donation and renaming come after a two-year renovation of the arena, which included various enhancements and was partly funded by an $8.5 million contribution from ICCU.

    • The financial support from ICCU will allow Idaho State University to reduce the number of "money games" its football team plays, which have previously resulted in injuries to key players.

    • The legacy of Milton "Dubby" Holt, the former athletic director and namesake of the original arena, will continue to be honored with a mural and recognition in the ISU Bengal Alumni Center's Hall of Champions.
