Pretty cool photos
of Houston's new $25M basketball practice facility. Click to enlarge.

Not shown: weight room, medical training room, laundry room, coaches' office suite.

When we renovate the arena, the new exterior should match the basketball practice facility pretty well. The practice facility wraps around one corner of the arena.

They are actual pictures. You can go see it on Cullen Boulevard if you don't believe your eyes... the facility has been open for a few months now, OU practiced in it for the final four - not that it helped them much.

They are actual pictures. You can go see it on Cullen Boulevard if you don't believe your eyes... the facility has been open for a few months now, OU practiced in it for the final four - not that it helped them much.

I just mentioned the appearance of the pictures because the first one is some what blurred when you look at the light refractions on the street and the leaves of the tree appear to be stretched. This Is usually something that shows up in a botched rendering when the setting/exposures aren't adjusted properly. I guess it could be just the product of a hand held photo.

I asked for more photos because it did look like a nice facility. 04-cheers

Like this rendering here. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Univ...cce89d40o0 Note that some people lack shadows, the cars tires aren't bearing weight and the street is immaculate which never happens. I'd also point out the lack of tree and bus stop but, you understand. These were probably done when the job was being pitched and the photos you have are the finished product. Still, It's nice.

We've come a long way from the crap facilities we had even in my time at UH ('06-'09). I really like the modern look of the new buildings going up on campus.

what would be a better photo is a UH basketball game with more than 4 people attending.

2015 UH basketball attendance was the most pathetic thing I've seen in sports this side of Tulane's empty Yuhlman stadium

You still mad we "manhandled" you at Hofheinz, as Cronin said about a dozen times in the postgame video?

Poor baby.

That's a very nice facility and I would think that it's as nice as any in the conference today.

Good investment.

One thing in the original plan that we didn't have quite enough room for was the UConn-style wider practice court. If we could have pulled this off, the facility would have been perfect IMO.

Ah yea didn't even think about that. Is there any significance to leaving it there? Obviously I'm nitpicking if that's the only thing wrong, it just stuck out to me.

Thanks!

Not sure if it was our fault or not but the hurricane may have been of the Golden variety.
