Not sure about original, but they owned it a very long time, including when you would have been at IU.  And they were very big supporters of soccer and close friends with Yeagleys.

I believe they had a son that played there way back when and they also owned the soccer-centric sporting goods store on or around the square.  Athletics International maybe?  I can't recall the name for sure.

awesome.  Thanks for the link.  My older son is a freshman at Purdue.  I'll have to hit it up when I'm down there.  Yes it's hard to have a son at Purdue.  Real hard. :). 

When my youngest daughter was applying to colleges, I asked her if she was considering U of I (we live about 30 minutes from Champaign). She said, and I quote, "Uh, no. I have principles and a functioning brain." 

I did something right as a parent.

Yeah the Lion closing really bummed me out.  Went there a lot. Loved drinking yards of black and tans.  Actually loved the food as well  luckily while my daughter was there we went there just about every time we visited her.  Crying shame that no one was able to step up and keep it going.  

The knuckleheads could have sold and kept it going had they not insisted on not selling the IP, among other stipulations. The talk among a number of Coolerites was serious.

 

I read that the bar scenes in the opening credits of Cheers were from the Lion.  Maybe there's still royalty checks coming, and that's why the IP didn't go up for sale with the building.
