Throughout the years, THON weekend has seen its fair share of growth and change. However, it seems as if this year is a particularly altered one: many aspects of THON, from the procedures of committees to the capacity of the floor, have undergone some sort of change. Some make sense in regards to the enormous scale of THON -- others are a bit more confusing to understand.
Having raised over $13 million in last year's THON, it can be humbling to fathom that raising over $1 million was a new and exciting accomplishment. Yet THON, for all of its current success and inspirational endeavors, came into being with a quiet, subdued beginning.
THON-goers, beware: Pegula Ice Arena will not be open to waiting visitors until 8 a.m. on Sunday.
