They announced that they are tearing out the original basketball floor in Bell Gym today. The same floor that coach Bartow’s original team’s practiced on. I was hoping athletics would sell the pieces for a fundraiser or something, but they obviously didn’t listen cause there is a giant dumpster outside of Bell Gym with floor pieces in it RIGHT NOW. It’s free game, go get a piece!!!!

Have at it my dude.

Not quite Boston Garden in popularity.

It’s in the building across 13th st from Bartow. Not the older building facing 6th ave s, but the brick building that was added to and kind of sandwiched behind it.

Old Ullman High School gym, next to Bell Gym. I went to dumpster in front of gym and fished out a piece of the old floor. Years of great memories.

The Blazers should build a Basketball Facility out of it. Practice and a Basketball gym with weights and a gym and yes, (they had a half size pool with suanas and whirl pools) its the Ullman Building, either that or that grocery store that use to be across the street. For Parking. Have the University pay for since Basketball put the Blazers on the map. Is Cooper Green Still their.

If you mean the hospital, then yes.

They’ve been raising money for over a year to build a basketball practice facility there where have you been?
