West End Zone residents on what they like best about the new facility.
"My favorite part is the team room. The cushion on the seats and how laid back it is. It is not like the other team room. I can really spend time in there.”
— DeMarcus Conner, senior
"The hydra room. The versatility and adaptability of the pools — there are spa jets, swim jets, therapy jets.” — Rob Hunt, head athletic trainer
"The laundry facility. It will cut our laundry time at least in half, I would say. Also, the newness. Everything’s just so new.”
— Wes Edwards,
equipment coordinator
"The proximity. I like that everything is so close together. Everything from the players and coaching staff and training table and weight room — everything that touches their life is within 100 yards, except housing and their classes. I also like the way it looks from the exterior.”
— Mike Holder,
athletic director
"I like the fact that it is all under one roof and is all inclusive. We don’t have to make a big, long walk from the locker room to the weight room to the training room. It is like a nice hotel really. It is plush. Plush is the word”
— Andrew Mitchell, senior
"I was shocked. We have one of the best locker rooms in the country by far, hands down. It is top notch. We are on a different level now, and we just need to keep playing like it. If we play anything like our locker room looks, we are going to win championships.”
— Richetti Jones, sophomore
