New Iowa Wrestling Room

[pokemonster]

Good video by Flo for those interested. Looks a lot brighter than the original photos. I like it. 

 

[BarSeries]

Pretty impressive!!

I am waiting until OK States new wrestling room get built.

[Bulldog]

That's awesome.  I'm still perplexed why they chose not to include any windows, but no matter. 

Anyone know what will happen to the old wrestling space?   

[feet2back]

Iowa is always 20/25 years behind the East Coast ...How about no windows in New building and Tommy wearing Sunglass apparel from 1983

So, it's an Amazon warehouse with lots of wrestling mats.  What am I missing?

There are windows on the side with the seating right?  But looks like not exterior windows

Little less video of this dinosaur and more video of the facility....:)

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Glad they decided to add windows to the dungeon

Lesson of the day:  If the University President is a wrestling season ticket holder, good things happen.

Idiotic move by Iowa, wasted millions of dollars that they could've used elsehwere because they wanted the facility to be connected to carver.  Could've had a nicer facility, with windows if they would've just built it in a different area.  Who cares that a tunnel takes you to Carver!

No group think here... Everyone has independently thought a wrestling room is terrible if it doesn't have natural light and the same facility would be better if it had windows.  Always the number one thing you hear when talking about a facility, "whats the window situation"  

Thank goodness Cael, JB, John Smith, etc.  all lifted and trained in naturally lit buildings that led to their gold medals success....

The current OSU room (since GIA was renovated) is upstairs with open plan and windows overlooking the football stadium.  But nah ... John trained in the basement prior renovation.

That wresting facility is cool. I don’t understand why windows are the number 1 priority on this forum.

Is it true the next version of Tesla self driving cars will not have windows just so owners have something to batch about?

If TNT somehow thread that needle and pull this off, they may be coaches of the decade.

I will take the under, but I am all in on this roller coaster ride.
