In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome.  In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.  In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.

2024, Holt Arena-ICCU Dome Part-2: Chrome in the Dome

Video

In January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.  The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, in the Holt Arena-ICCU Dome.

Video

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, probably for the last time in ‘Holt Arena’.  That’s because in January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.

The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

My children all had their high school graduations in Holt Arena, and I attended my own graduation from ISU in Holt Arena.  It’s also used for many things other than sports and graduations, such as the Pocatello Spring Fair, farm shows and car shows, let’s go!

Custom trophies for custom cars! Trophies were made by Idaho State University-College of Technology Automotive Program students.

Pine Ridge Mall-Center Court: Inaugural indoor Winter/New Year Car Show!

Image

Due to some instigation (possibly by a secret society of conspiratorial automotive enthusiasts), the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, held its inaugural indoor Winter/New Year automobile show.  It was the weekend of January 13th & 14th, 2024.

One of the possible conspirators, practicing his Jedi Mind Tricks on some mall-goers!

I worked for the original owner of the Pine Ridge Mall during the few years before it was sold to the second owner, an evil global corporation based in Chicago, and we used to have car and RV displays during the warmer months of the year.  But, the evil second owner killed everything off!  The Pine Ridge Mall is on its third owner, supposedly a family company based in Saint Louis, Missouri, which specializes in bringing back depressed malls. The third owners have been working hard to slowly bring in new businesses, and they gave their blessings on this inaugural Winter/New Year indoor auto-show (with a possibility for more car shows!).

Pre-Halloween Poky Toys for Tots car show, boo!

Video

On 21OCT2023, a big pre-Halloween car show/USMC Reserve’s Toys-4-Tots drive/Trunk or Treat was held in the Old Town area of Pocatello, Idaho.

The show started on the 9th hour of the day, I arrived about an hour-n-half late, and was greeted by the roar of monster motors, video by me:

There was a constant coming-and-going of people and machines. More videos by me:

By the 12th hour the parking lot was jumping, more videos by me:

A group called SE Idaho Bass Heads helped raise $685 for the local Toys for Tots.

The Trunk-Treat began in the 15th hour:

By the 18th hour it was all over, and some guy named Crazy Carl thought the show was the awesome-ist yet!

Video

The free Pocatello Car Club show started at 17 hours (5pm), 22JUL2023, it was 100+ Fahrenheit (38+ C)! I started recording video (I need a real video camera) and stills at about 17:30 hours, cars were still rolling in, eventually they would have at least 1-hundred cars show up.

No audio on this video due to loud copyrighted music being played:

The rollout for the Pocatello Car Club cruise started at 19 hours (7pm), hot vehicles in the hot 100+ Fahrenheit climate:

This was the quiet street to view car show cruisers, even though Grandma claimed “I can’t hear you!”:

July’s action on Main Street wasn’t as loud as it was in June:

It seemed most of the car-cruise action was taking place in the Center Street ‘tunnel’:
