Auburn Facility Tour, part 3: The Gym
Nov 24, 2008
Auburn has a very nice facility that Head Coach Jeff Thompson gave me a tour of. Auburn's old gym, aka "The Barn" burned down in a large fire in 1996 and left the Tigers without a facility for a few years. Jeff told me that when he came in as head coach 10 years ago, the old coach had already planned the layout for the new facility to be built with everything going into one large pit in the center of the gym, but he was not satisfied with those plans. He was given three days to refigure the layout and draw it out to scale. He managed to get it done and this beautiful facility is the result. He's very proud of the new facility, and they now have a lot of neat training tools at their disposal.
