Same here, I do know that our tennis facility is in need of a huge upgrade, but that's because I know a couple of the team managers, not because I've been there

Why? Florida is one of the best teams in the nation.

At Auburn, most are pretty close together. The softball field, gymnastics practice facility, soccer, and track and field are farthest from the big three but those are still clustered together.

Football stadium is on the center/east end of campus. Baseball and basketball arena are on the south end of campus. About a 10 min walk from the baseball and basketball venues to Sanford, made it pretty much every day for class.

I could possibly understand if it was located in some obscure location (see UCLA), but it is literally in the middle of their campus and shares a parking lot with the Swamp, O-Dome, and Track.

Yeah the basketball facility is right ni the middle of the football and baseball stadiums. they are about as close as you can get. Next to that is the track and soccer and tennis. Golf course is only about 1/2 mile away. I wish I could find a good aerial photo.

I've been there. I went up there to watch Ole Miss in a volleyball tournament in 2009. That isn't a bad facility at all.

I love the Hearnes. Mizzou Arena has too much of a businessy-NBA type feel to it.

I sat next to the Mizzou students at that tournament...pretty much sat in their student section. Me and my buddies got some weird looks, especially when we started talking to some Mizzou girls. But overall, cool people.

I miss going to basketball games there - it was a loud, rowdy arena. It's kinda sad to see it start to get outdated and fall into disrepair since it is no longer used as a venue for Mizzou basketball.

This how it used to be. Bud Walton Arena (the basketball palace of mid-America) in the foreground, going away its the #1 outdoor track facility, the old baseball stadium, which has since been leveled and is now going to be the football practice fields, and Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in the background.



Here is hoe the back half of that photo will look in a year or so. New practice facility/coaching offices. Baseball field in that first picture has been moved for years and has been a parking lot in the interim.

Yep, my bad. Was baseball prior to 1996, I didn't look close enough.
