The
Auditorium itself has experienced a number of renovations. In 1959,
a concrete floor and new seats were added. The Auditorium was remodeled
in 1993-94. Although the 1959 concrete floor had altered the formerly
excellent acoustics, the school elected to leave it in place because
the organ had been tuned to the hall as it was in 1960, after the
new floor had been installed. Most of the 1993-94 remodeling consisted
of improving antiquated electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems.

Despite
the expansion of Rynearson Stadium to 30,000 seats, drawing fans
continues to be a problem: NCAA rules state that in order to stay
in Division I-A for football, each team must attract an average
of 15,000 fans per game. During a 1-11 season in 2006, Eastern's
EMU Foundation purchased 5,000 tickets for local high school students
to curb this threat to their status.

Eastern
Michigan University
Eastern Michigan University is a comprehensive,
co-educational public university located in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
The university is governed by an eight-member Board of Regents,
who are appointed by the Governor of Michigan for eight-year
terms. The school belongs to the Mid-American Conference and
was re-accredited by the North Central Association in 2001.
Currently, EMU comprises five colleges: Arts & Sciences,
Business, Education, Health & Human Services, Technology
and a Graduate School. Its mascot, since 1991, has been the
Eastern Eagle, after the traditional name "Hurons"
was deemed unsuitable.
