New Basketball Facility

[aanb]

What is your opinion of the new basketball facility? The old Gullickson Hall. It has to make a better impression on recruites.

 

[herdfan06]

Who are these recruites you speak of?

 

[sluggo72]

I thought the new basketball facility was going next to the new baseball stadium

 

[greengeezer]

Outdoor basketball facility. That will be different.

Looks very cool. Has a retro feel to it:

Nice. Am I correct in understanding this is now a practice facility for the basketball programs?

Yes.

thanks Scaggs family for stepping up for the Herd. Looks great.

 

[oldeherd]

Floor looks GREAT! Certainly, the lighting is vastly improved from that in the old Gullickson gym that I recall from decades ago. Much deserved and appreciated by both Coaches D'Antoni and Kemper, their players and staffs! Many thanks to the Scaggs family who made this possible! GO HERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve said all along that should be the volleyball gym

 

[bbneutralfan]

Looks great but no one has answered the question is it air conditioned as it is a veritable furnace in the summer and camps?

 

[aanb]

To answer your question no it is not airconditioned at this time. A company called Big Ass Fans ( I kid you not) has installed 2 fans that are supposed to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 degrees. Do not ask me how. lol It is my understanding that the university is talking to several AC companies at this time to get quotes.

Where do the volleyball girls play and practice?

They play and practice in the Henderson Center.

 

[Treadmill MUsic]

Take the old fitness center and restore the pool for our Men’s and Women’s team. That would be huge for recruiting.

I saw plenty of Big Ass fans on the bourbon tour. They do a good job of cooling

I think they have purchased a special portable volleyball court to be used by the team.

I had my very first class at Marshall in Gullickson Hall. It was one of the newer buildings on campus at that time and there were classrooms on the second floor.
Nice thing about masonry buildings is they can be remodeled and repurposed almost indefinitely. The construction company did an outstanding job on this facility.

I played several indoor soccer tournaments in the old Gullickson Hall. This is quite nice.

Dear lord you’re old

Hey now, 429, easy on the geezer. He ain't alone on here! Building was pretty new when I started at MU too. Had ROTC classes in Gullickson for a couple years. In fact, old Otto G. himself was often around the building from time to time!!

We must have attended Marshall about the same time. It was common to see Otto “Swede” Gullickson having lunch and visiting with students at the old Shawkey Student Union.

Good ole "Swede." He was around when I was there, too. So you know I'm old like Geezer.

Apparently, a real common trait on here!!
