SDSU Dykhouse Student Athlete Center Photos and Video

Post by i_got_a_fever »

After a period of time that seemed to take forever, we now have our first photos of the inside of the brand new Dykhouse Student Athlete Center. It's a great day to be a Jackrabbit. Enjoy.

Nice upgarde for SDSU.

Albany got the custom dumbbells to when the weightroom was renovated last summer.

Pretty cool. They really make the weightroom look first class.

Everything you see including the locker room is located in this building, in the north endzone of the stadium. They are not sure if they are moving the visitors to the old locker room, or still making them walk from the HPER center.

I believe they are still making them walk from the HPER Center. THey need to seriously upgrade the old locker rooms before I would have the visitors there. That or completely build a new building for it. The HPER locker rooms are probably much better. Just the walk would suck.

SDSU's logo and mascot is one of my favorites. Oh yeah, the new facilities look nice too!

A cool thing to dress up the locker room is the huge over head light of a streth SD. Will look something like this.

Looks great! :thumb: That's what Southern did when they opened the new fieldhouse this year, they combined the old home and visitors locker room into a larger space for the visitors.

Article today in the Sioux Falls paper. We just had a study done in the AD on facility upgrades, with a new 22,700 seat stadium as the center piece. Here is the link.

That would be great if they can pull off the financing for it.

They would likely fill it. Sioux Falls is about an hour or so south. They love the football there and with z population of 200k trips would be made

As a Griz fan, I wonder how much further along the 'Jacks will be to the national championship because of all this. 8-)

I think we averaged something around 13k but that could be wrong so don't quote me on it, and the capacity of Caughlin-Alumni is only 10k right now, and its definately on the rise for sure. :thumb:

Per the NCAA stats current capacity is 15,000 and 09' SDSU was 17th in average FCS attendance with 13,265. Sound right SDSU fans? Nice locker room and weight facility.

Yeah thats about right. Theres only 10k in permanent seating, and the rest is standing room around the fence around the field. Technically they never "sell out" because they jus keep packing them into the standing room only.
