OT: ND Pondering To Leave Hockey East

[Full_Rebar]

While I agree that a better long range plan should be put in place (there actually is one currently) I will tell you that SU has a proposal out now for a new Olympic weight room.

The long range plan I have heard about is to infill the space between IPF and Manley (Coyne Field). Not sure about a real solution for indoor track.

I don't see Manley being converted to hockey. They would use the facility up on Skytop or the War Memorial first.

Glad a weight room is on the books. I just don't get why they didn't put the new w. lax locker room into some of the space between Manley and Coyne and left the weight room alone. I know that plans have existed for years to redo the academic center, which is really undersized.

It just doesn't seem like some of these facilities decisions have been made with anything beyond immediate needs considered.

this seems fun.

bring back wrestling.

cheaper and less scholies to figure out for title IX.

and if you ever went to match at manley, you would know how fun they can be.

Gene Mills, Mike Rotunda... Loved the matches at Manley.

SU has no arena right now. Not sure how much it would cost to retrofit Manley, but that would also mean building a new Olympic team weight room, since they are located in the arena now. It would also displace the track team (again).

It would have been such a smart idea to put a 3 or 4 lane track inside the IPF. That would have meant no outdoor track would have been needed and would have opened Manley to be turned back into an arena for w. hoops, or to be a possible rink.

SU really needs some long-range planning to occur instead of these band-aid fixes which don't have a long shelf life.

They could play war memorial

Put a rink at the other end of the Dome. Basketball on one side, hockey on the other.

I like hockey. A lot.
