Really looking good...will be better than KU's practice facility-----
Title IX — the federally mandated equal-opportunity legislation — might have been the impetus, but perhaps the biggest beneficiaries of the undertaking will be the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The centerpiece of the project is a new, 11,600-square-foot basketball practice facility.
It will be bounded by Parrott and Wagnon Student Athlete Center on the north, Anschutz Sports Pavilion on the west, Horejsi Center on the south and Allen Fieldhouse on the east.
The facility will feature the same floor and similar lighting as the fieldhouse, a court-and-a-half setup with seven hoops, a banner of accomplishments and the floor from the 2008 Final Four court on the walls, plus a sound system into which users can connect personal MP3 players,
“It’s a state-of-the-art facility,” Lester said, “and NBA-type facility. The goal is to have as game-like conditions as we can possibly have.”
Men’s coach Bill Self likes what he has seen.
"I really believe when our facilities are done, we'll have as nice a practice and arena facility as any in the country,” he said. “It will be state-of-the-art practice facility, a court and a half, not only will it be beautiful but practical and one our athletes can take full advantage of.”
--- We have 35,000 square feet and two full courts....Yeah I know they have scoreboard forever and 5 more championships but hey its nice to have better facilities than a big time school in a major sport for once. :thumbsup:

More good press about the facility
"Let’s just say the addition was worth the inconvenience for fans and interminable wait for the basketball and volleyball programs. And let’s further state that for all the facility bashing in CU’s direction, the practice courts will match up with any school." :nod:

She's definitely a homer for us. As long as the wind is blowing our way, we can count on her to deliver some pro-CU puff pieces.

i hope we aren't married to the sloping, italics font for very long. it's so late 70's, disco 80's.
"Tickets". it completely goes against the natural geometries of the Klauder-style Tuscan CU architecture. which are triangles shortened on one side to represent the flatirons.
