Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4872782, member: 591"] Modern is a big part of it. Its variations of things really. A 10 year old locker room may not be so nice - listened to the color commentator (Holly W?) on the Texas game the other day going on and on about her visit to the Texas locker-room in their new arena. First rate weight facilities - Arizona added facilities on the north end of the stadium, and we attended a couple events (available to non-members) in the "club" located on the top deck. From where you enter the elevators you see weight equipment through a glass wall that looks like it is from outer space. As mentioned above, the academic center for athletes is across from both the stadium and McKale Center, and is new. The practice facility for football is where they host the pre-game Wildcat Club tailgate (donors can but or get tickets, open for 2 hours before the game) and it is very nice. It is also nice if actual games are played in a decent facility. When we were traveling around following Rutgers WBB, we were in some really unappealing facilities - Manley Fieldhouse at Syracuse comes to mind back in the day. McDonough at Georgetown. As someone said, it is in the eye of the beholder, but there are clearly differences between schools. [/QUOTE]
