ln the course of the 1979-80 school year the Five Flags Civic Center became a part of the Loras Experience. The Five Flags Civic Center was to be the stage for many of the activities. Though owned and operated by the city of Dubuque, Loras has access to the center for basketball games, special events and shows. The center also offers features of its' own to the public in the form of concerts by popular recording artists, ice skating and soon professional hockey competition. l During the first full year of operation the center became the homecourt for the 1980 District 15 basketball cham- pion Loras Duhawks. The center also provided a place to have the homeco- ming get together from the college, honor Loras alum Mickey Marty and provided comfortable and spacious surroundings for the Fred Waring concert. As the center continues to be part of the Loras Experience over the next 10 years, Loras looks to have a long and varied relationship with Five Flags. ll, C ,av -.- 1 X- 1:5 ,..,..1
