That drawing makes no sense! I know for vertically deficient EMTs this may be good but riddle me this: how can you run on the base line and why do the courts over lap negating the ability for both teams to use their allotted courts. C'mon. You're better than this! :D

Why not just have 3 regular courts and call 1/2 of 1 the MBB side and the other side the WBB side

At least there was no 'Burger King Crown" logo in the middle! Although it holds a special place in the hearts of Mrs Purple and myself.

It reminds me a little of UVA's practice facility in the JPJ. I'm not sure who they consulted with though. There are several offices sketched out that have a walk out balcony on either side of the building so coaches can look down on the floor. Not sure about the locker rooms but there seems to be space for it if needed.

Is their a new locker room, team rooms, etc? New offices??
yes to offices, meeting rooms, and I believe phase 3 includes moving the locker rooms over but I can't find it.

from AD Barber: 9 goals each, new coaches' offices "up on the top floor", "new reception areas for both teams", and "eventually new locker rooms comin' down the road"

mentions specifically "new weight rooms, new training room, new locker rooms, new team rooms" in the next phase.

likes it better than what he saw @ Kentucky- also looked at UVa and Va Tech.

this pic from @LUADjeff makes it look like the half courts in the center of the facility ARE divided. I may have to update my rendering as a result.

I fixed it. Realized the same thing, also- I wasn't happy with the key so I re-did that.

and i DID do it in MS PAINT... can you not tell?

floors: DONE

HCDL says portable goals are next.

I assume padding on the walls would follow. Either that or we're going with that big primer belly stripe around the whole facility.

Yeah. Don't try to run your offense up high on that side court!

Also, possible stupid question, but are the full courts 94'? They just don't look it from the pics, but pics can be deceiving
