NSU Retro Night Games Basketball fans young and old had the chance to relive the glory of NSU basketball inside the Civic Arena Feb. 22 and 23 during Retro Weekend. The step back in time took place as the NSU Barnett Center was being used for the state high school wrestling tournament. The games featured the return of the Bud Man and special T-shirts celebrating former players and current seniors. Northern State University had plenty of opportunities to show off the newly remodeled Krikac Auditorium this spring. The auditorium has already hosted numerous events, including a theater production, speaker, comedian and public tour. The tour, held by the Aberdeen/Brown County Landmarks Commission, was led by Earl Weisenburger, director of Northern’s purchasing department and project manager for the Krikac Administration Building remodeling project. The building was updated at a cost of $1.5 million from the Higher Education Finance Fund. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Feb. 5. Work included window replacement and the addition of central air conditioning in Krikac and adjoining Spafford Hall. In the auditorium, flooring and chairs were replaced and stainedglass windows were restored. The historic auditorium, which also got a wireless sound system and new stage lighting system, provides an ideal space for classes and performances. The total seating capacity in the auditorium is 378, including 75 seats in the balcony. Also, 57 chairs are equipped with power, data connection and tablet arms. Another 57 are equipped with tablet arms only. Built in 1907, the Krikac Administration Building is named after the late William K. Krikac, a Northern graduate and former vice president for Finance and Administration. Members of the Krikac family were special guests at the event, helping to cut the ribbon.
