I haven't been over to the new athletic building that they have on campus, but let me tell you about how much the facilities were a joke when I was there...

-my first year, the STUDENT weightroom was in the UC. It was about 25 yards long and about 15 yards wide.

-The athlete weightroom in alumni was a joke. It was no bigger than a normal 4th grade classroom. There were hardly enough free weights and machines...

-The cardio room for athletes was no bigger.

-When they built the "new" student gym on the side of alumni, that was about 5x larger than what the athletes had to use.

The facilities were a joke. I just don't see how they could lure ANYONE to come to the school. And like you said, 70% or more of the fans who go to MSG are from other schools...forget about it when UConn comes to town....they flat-out take over the Garden.

Nowadays we have Taffner Fieldhouse right across from Carnasecca

And the weight room is in the basement of Carnasecca
