Maybe name it the Sinkwich-Walker Building or something?...

This is a prime opportunity to honor the most storied athlete in UGA history, Herschel Walker. Over the three decades since Herschel played in Athens and led the Dawgs to a national championship, he has brought nothing but honor to his Georgia football legacy, and yet other than retire his jersey, UGA has done nothing that I’m aware of to honor the man who continues to this day to be cited as the epitome of Bulldogs athletic glory. I won’t get into whether the naming of the South Campus athletic grounds is sufficient honor for Vince Dooley or whether his name ought to be added to the stadium, but it seems to me that naming this new facility after Herschel offers nothing but positives. Heck, it’s also going to be used by the track team, in addition to football and baseball, and Herschel was a track star at Georgia as well! I’d hate to see the indoor facility wind up just getting the name of whoever donates the most money added to it when we could be paying tribute to the greatest college football player I’ve ever seen.

I would be happy if they Named it after Herschel. But after Butts-Mehre, I'm over hyphenated names.

I feel like Herschel deserves his name on something better than just the place where they'll practice every now and then when there's thunderstorms....
Indoor Practice Facilities that whiny fans turned into an issue seems beneath him, imo.

Will $30,000,000 build Richt's original vision of what he wanted to build in 2004???

A coach who loves to immerse himself in details, Richt has clearly given plenty of thought to how a new indoor facility might look. The first floor would have a strength and weightlifting room, the second floor would be reserved for offices, and the third floor would hold a large dining room - with a glass window that overlooked the practice field.
Richt clearly wants to sell the project as being more than a place for the football team to practice a few times a year. He said there would be a 300-meter track around the field for indoor meets. The dining room would be used by regular students. Tailgating and other game-day activities would be held there, too.

Maybe in 10 years when athens finally gets swallowed by the growing atlanta cancer, they should name the future underground commuter transport-tube station in athens after Herschel......
