Cagy scoreboard

Venerable Coxe Cage at Yale University, where we had our lid-lifting meet on Saturday, is one of the coolest venues around.

Steeped in history and character, this building looks like a big, old greenhouse with its mostly glass-paneled roof and sides, to go along with the ancient brick structure. It was built in 1928 and has undergone many renovations (see complete history here), the most recent of which included the addition of the four-lane banked oval.

The renovation also included a new digital scoreboard. This scoreboard posted results, and also flashed witty aphorisms like this: Afraid of the hurdles? Get over it!

Nice.
