The East Broadway sports bar located just a hop-skip from campus has long been considered by
Indy readers as
the place in town to watch the big game, discuss the blown call, debate the latest trade or otherwise banter about sports’ most noteworthy news. Earlier this year it lived up to its billing when a tipster sitting in The Press Box called our newsroom early one morning to say Griz football coach Robin Pflugrad and Athletic Director Jim O’Day had just been fired. A skeptical reporter asked how he could ever know such a thing. Well, he explained, Pflugrad was sitting right there at a table breaking the news to a collection of loyal fans. The Press Box brings Griz faithful, quite literally, as close to the game as any place in town.
