On Friday evening, Yale Athletics welcomed alumni and members of the Yale community to the official ribbon-cutting and re-opening of the Lapham Field House at the Smilow Field Center at the Carm Cozza Complex.
The $38 million, newly renovated Lapham Field House at the Smilow Field Center is home to the Yale football and Yale men's and women's track & field and cross country programs. Each team has their own designated locker room space, complete with upgraded lockers and lounges for student-athletes. Additional spaces are comprised of a 110-person meeting space with a retractable wall, stadium seating, and upgraded audio-visual equipment, as well as positional meeting rooms, nutrition stations, and a creative studio.
As part of the capital project, the Yale Bowl complex was also dedicated in memory of Carm Cozza, who served as Yale Football's head coach from 1965 to 1996. (Yale Bulldogs News)
Construction is underway for Sacramento State’s planned event center nearly a year after it was announced, according to university officials.
The Sacramento State Athletic Department told ABC10 construction has begun, but there is no timeline for completion. The project is set to convert part of The Well, an on-campus fitness facility, into a venue for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. “Moving forward, Sacramento State plans to play home basketball games at The Well,” the university’s athletic department told ABC10 in a statement.
The Nest, the school’s current basketball venue, has a seating capacity of 1,012 people. It’s considered to be one of the oldest NCAA Division I facilities, according to the university’s athletic website. (ABC 10)
