OT: Georgetown Practice Facility

[jr4750]

Donation made by David Falk to help construct it. I know JT is his buddy, but like ugh... Gtown!

At Georgetown, athletic center named after Big John Thompson is open for business

JT III said it's the nicest facility of its kind in the nation. Lol.

Maybe he meant 'in the nation's capital'.

 

[OttoMets]

It's a really nice building. It'll be shared, but they spared no expense. In addition to Falk, I think some of their recent hoops alumni were pretty generous.

 

[MSOrange]

Regardless of what they practice in, they'll still be playing in a half empty off-campus pro arena.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Will it have the "Michael Graham Boxing Wing", or the "Kenny Brunner Sword Studio"?

Except when they play us of course.

 

[PoppyHart]

$62 million is a lot.

I'm sure Allen Iverson made no donations towards a "practice" facility.

I'm sure Allen Iverson made no donations towards a "practice" facility.

Allen is looking for people to make donations to him after blowing all his money.

I was at work and laughed at that while " working ".

 

[cuseattle]

Still. Laughing.

They are a bit old school, their message board format is from 1999.

Not impressed. The Melo center, with all the glass and the coaches' offices overlooking the court ... so much nicer (and brighter). The Hoya (DB) Center is dreary.

They are well behind the times in seeing the second weekend of the NCAA tourney too.

 

[Trueblue25]

Do they have bricks though!?!?!?

Bricks make a practice facility.

 

[nccusefan]

Spent all that money and still spelled Hoya Suxa wrong

 

[Moontan]

They still suck.

[Briancuse]

Well now they have more room to work on being a bad bball team.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Gotta have room to run that ol' Princeton offense, don't ya' know.

 

[#FRANchise]

But there's still only one full court that has full lines.. Doesn't the Melo Center have two full courts plus side baskets?

 

[orangehomer]

it looks nice, not much to criticize there
