The Red Zone

History

As a way to energize The Jungle (IUPUI’s Gymnasium) the IUPUI Athletics Department opened up the naming rights to the student section to all IUPUI students. Several great names were submitted over the three week process but in the end, The Red Zone was the name that stood out above all the others and in the Fall of 2007 the student section in The Jungle was crowned THE RED ZONE. The Red Zone was a key component in the men’s basketball team going undefeated (15-0) at home in 2007-08. The Red Zone has become a great way for students to get connected and cheer on the Jaguars. Look for The Red Zone to announce great student based activities surrounding the Men’s and Women’s Basketball games in 2008-2009. (Ex. – Pregame Activities, Pep Rally, Special Promotional Nights)
