New Bing Stadium

[Dane Pound]

Story in the Bing paper about their new basketball stadium. I'm sure it's not as nice as it looks in the pictures.

I think it's actually nicer. That's bad news for UAlbany, in terms of their track teams will get a huge boost from this. We were top dogs in track, or at least one of the top three in the conference. Now Binghamton will be a competitor, I think.

 

Don't let the UA students get a whiff of the sentence where they point out that East Gym is now going to be a student recreation center...

D2k...don't let that article sway you (on track that is). Binghamton can have the greatest facilities....UA has ROBERTO VIVES. Kids don't go to schools for track facilities...they go for coaches. Example...the kid from the Albany area who is at Wheaton....he is an Olympic High Jumper hopeful (set more records than I can remember). That is why you see so many DIII schools in IA meets. W/ Roberto at the healm...UA will be fine. He has a pipeline into recruits. I train with a Northeastern Husky track coach...they love Roberto...said the man is one of the best recruiters (ironically they were recruiting his daughter away from UA).
