Threadkilla Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I like it better than the Hawk's. Iowa's needs less of the depressing gray and black and more yellow, since it has no natural light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwebster Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I like the stage for the pole-dancers. I'm assuming there's an adjacent Champagne Room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom formerly Tofurky Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I felt like I was watching my youngest play Mine Craft. Is that an existing structure on campus that is to be renovated or a completely new build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbone Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Looks nice. Some of the glass seems to go to other rooms so the natural light might be below the new standard for wrestling rooms. It was also nice of Virginia Tech to let them use their wrestling mats. Edited May 8 by Dogbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerlock3 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The whole "natural light" movement is spearheaded by people who spend a lot of money on informericials and the skymall catalogue. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNI wrestler had a recent tweet making fun of the lack of natural light in Iowa's room. Meanwhile the UNI room that he was bragging about had several pillars in the middle of it. I would rather get artificial light than have Keckheisen concuss me with a blast double into the pillar. I had a room with natural light... it is too dark to notice during the winter and if the light hits the mats during the summer they can get too hot to touch. Also, people seem not to realize that all the "greys" in the Iowa facility are because it isn't finished yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the natural light thing is a direct outgrowth of "Iowa no fun dungeon" joke that has become the joke only stupid people laugh at. The only way it makes things cleaner is by heating up portions of the mat like you alluded to, and this isn't a viable means of cleaning the mats due to inconsistent coverage and weather. The natural light room I was in for years was facing west, and I was in there a lot at dawn and dusk, and those times sucked because you have sun directly in your eyes, a confound that doesn't have a training benefit. Its very aethetic if you're not wrestling, but if you are you want a washed out and evenly lit room, not a bunch of shadows and sun beams carving up the landscape visually. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

That's a hell of a wrestling room... no just dusk (thought my hung over self would have been really pissed if the building was facing east), I just thought the time I'd spend rewriting the thing to reflect that seemed poor roi.
