facilities master plan question

[ianoconnor]

Football has their practice facility, now let's give the basketball and volleyball teams a practice facility. Johnson has done an amazing job turning around our volleyball program and has accomplished great success, an elite practice facility would help our recruiting even more.

When I win the powerball, I'll take care of Iowa State.

I agree that we need the Hilton improvements more than the South End Zone. Has anyone really looked hard at the improvements? I don't know what all is in the Jacobsen Building but the new Hilton expansion is going to include rooms to watch video, an athletic trainer area, a hydro therapy area and storage room. I hope it looks a lot like the aTm cribs video (link at the bottom). I think those improvements will help the athletic department as a whole more than bowling in the south end zone.

I would totally be up for corp sponsoring of the practice facility or the south endzone. You could give the south endzone its own name in JTS. A much larger version of Big Mac land in old Busch stadium.

There was a poll about this a few months ago that was pretty interesting:

Agree. Too bad that we lost Gene Smith in 2000 or the south end would already be bowled in. That BVD was some visionary.

Actually I give him credit for getting us the indoor faciity before bowling the endzone. Having an indoor facility attracts more recruits than a bunch of seats covered in snow. Not to mention how the indoor facility helps with spring practice, winter conditioning and bowl preparation. Come to think about it, it took a lot of vision and was a great decision.
