Chrome in the Dome, 2025!

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 officially changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.  However, the signage on the arena wasn’t changed until later in the year.

On the 7th-8th of March 2025, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its yearly ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.

Veterans Memorial Car Show: The future is Falcon!

This 1965 Ford Falcon Futura, lives in Pocatello.  It is significant that this car was a fundraiser for a veteran’s memorial building, for you see that the ‘father’ of the Ford Falcon was none other than Robert McNamara, the man who would be responsible for managing the U.S. military occupation of Viet Nam, under the Johnson Administration.
