Worst Gym Setup

[ttubandit]

This past Friday I went to the Cleveland vs. Walker Valley basketball game, and I was amazed at the construction of the gym. Let me preface this by saying that I am in no way affiliated with either team. The only reason that I went is because I knew it would be a good game. When I got there I was dumbfounded at the design of the gym. It is a AAA school with barely enough room to seat 600 people that can see the game. On one entire, full length, side of the court there are only 4 ROWS HIGH!!!. I couldn't understand this at all. In addition to that the other side of the gym is a two teir setup but the back teir isn't raised so you can only see the opposite half of the court b/c of people walking and standing/sitting on the first teir. I think that this is the WORST gym design that I have ever seen b/c there is very limited seating for people actually wanting to watch the game. There is not a good seat in the entire secong teir. Whoever designed this gym should be fired!!!

 

I am starting this thread b/c I want to hear about all of the "bad gyms" in TN. This tread is not supposed to be about the teams that play in the gym or the fans involved... GYM ONLY!!!

In Chattanooga:

Only one side of bleachers:

Lookout Valley

CCS

Silverdale

 

Way too small for big games:

In Nashville hands down it is Maplewood. Thankfully, ground has been broken on a new gym for them.

I second that. Home side is very nice, visitor side leaves MUCH to be desired.

I am not sure if this is still the case, but in 2005, Richard Hardy didnt even have a three point line. The out of bounds on one side of the court was two feet from the wall. The court was a good 20 feet shorter and there was only room for about 50-75 people in the two sections of bleachers.

While I think the playing floor and environment are great, it's a real shame that Sycamore and Harpeth weren't built to a size that could legally host a regional tournament nor were they designed so that they could be expanded. I understand older schools more so than the newer ones. Listen up architects! Even if the school system can't afford the seating that they are going to need in the long term, short term the design should include provisions to expand seating.

Summertown is terrible!

Summertown is terrible!

 

Summertown without a doubt. It's like 100 yr. old. No out of bound line except for the wall. Arena football got its idea from them.
