The NIU Convocation Center turns orange with pride.
A crowd of 2,750 cheered Wednesday inside the NIU Convocation Center as the football team enjoyed a halftime rally in honor of their second consecutive MAC championship and their upcoming Jan. 1 trip to the Discover Orange Bowl.
Football players slapped the hands of fans, spoke to the crowd, signed autographs and basked in the orange glow of appreciation for a historic season that remains alive.
