What's in an athletics complex?

A pragmatist would have simply replaced all of the facilities being lost by the closure of Bartlett Gymnasium. A visionary would have taken this opportunity to fix all of the existing deficiencies in the current athletic facilities. However, it takes true genius to ignore both of these options and to realize that what athletics at this university really needs is a juice bar, a dance floor, and indoor seating for 2,000. Kudos to all of those involved in making these decisions.
