New basketball arena and facilities where the Walsh Hall quad was? 🤨

I don't think there is anything currently between the Nursing building and University, so you could probably close that block of Oxford St. 

All in one: Basketball arena w/practice court, weights, meeting/team rooms, & apartments all connected.

It’s fun to look back at some of the old basketball courts in ND, Many had balconies  for seating as the courts were in the community centers, some high schools had balconies on the ends, the bleachers were all cement.  Anyone see a court so small the free throw circle intersected the half court circle. 
‘there has to be enough engineers out there that can figure this out.

Rhame, ND….. 3 half court lines.  One to cross in 10 seconds and than the over and back would reset to a center point on the court.

Looks like changes are coming for UND basketball/volleyball....

UND targeting Betty Engelstad Sioux Center for next athletics facility project

 

There were plans for a 4 court facility for basketball and volleyball northwest of the Betty.  This would allow the Betty to be remodeled to allow permanent seating at the end as you wouldn't really need multiple courts since you have a new practice facility with 4.  SDSU did it to Frost.  Betty is a very similar building to what it was before the renovations.  Would be sweet to have the Betty look similar to this.
