"The Old Oaken Bucket" Rivals Agree on One Thing: Danley Loudspeakers

SOURCE: DANLEY SOUND LABS

BLOOMINGTON / WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA – NOVEMBER 2018: Much more than the mere hundred miles between them separates Indiana University and Purdue University. As Indiana’s two land-grant institutions and with massive student bodies of around 40,000 each, Indiana University and Purdue share and foment a rivalry that’s been raging for well over a century. In football, the rivalry is institutionalized in the tradition of the “Old Oaken Bucket,” a trophy that goes to whichever team emerges victorious from their annual game. Recently, both Indiana University’s Memorial Stadium (52,000 seats) and Purdue University’s Ross-Ade Stadium (57,000 seats) underwent sound reinforcement system overhauls, and, despite their rivalry, both schools used Danley Sound Labs loudspeakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers/DSP. Indiana University and Purdue join the ranks of other universities – including Alabama, LSU, Penn State, Michigan State, Northwestern, and the University of Iowa – that rely on Danley systems in their football stadiums.
