They've been known as the Assembly Hall since it opened its doors in 1963 and has hosted basketball games, concerts & other special events over the years. The home court of the University of Illinois basketball teams will soon call State Farm Center home down in Champaign. The Bloomington, IL-based insurance company has signed a 30 year, $60 million naming rights deal with the U of I, Athletic Director Mike Thomas and university officials announced today. As part of the new deal, there will be about $160 million of renovations to the 50 year-old arena starting next spring. |

Hopefully they bring back the little jingles they had on the radio about two years ago. Those were good. |

I was worried the Illini relocated to Orlando. They should call their arena Madison Square Cornfield. It's basically the same goofy layout. |

Since they can't have the chief anymore maybe they can have that little gecko guy as a mascot. |

I can't wait until Chief Illiniwek is replaced with a gekko, SHARK. Edit: Dammit KD, you beat me to it. |

I'm in a state of caffination Got all my fingers shakin' Must have been my large Americano Mochaccino macchiato Now the family's gone to bed And that's my favorite time to get some tips on better rates, Cause my State Farm guy answers late, And even when its not my agent, Someone's standing by so patient, Getting coverage questions answered helps me to relax. |

It still finishes along the same lines. Those songs finished with "Get to a better state... State Farm." Quite a different tag line than "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there." However, I think they both are examples of the quality coverage you should expect with an industry leader like State Farm. |
