Inside The New Building III

The Dartmouth football program is honoring the 1972 Ivy League championship team this weekend. After Friday's practice members of that team and their families who were in town early got a tour of the Floren Varsity House. I had a chance to tag along and shot a few pictures inside the building, scheduled to be formally dedicated on the final weekend of the season.A view of the locker room.
The smart classroom.
The enormous weight room, so large that former Dartmouth coach and retired Syracuse athletic director Jake Crouthamel commented that you could actually do speed training in the room.
The upstairs lounge.
On game days receptions can be held over the field and invited guests will have a bird's eye view of the game.

One piece of news before heading in to the stadium. News reports have mentioned three or four high school seniors who intend to be early decision candidates. I've heard about two others. Apparently there are 15 seniors who have committed to apply early decision.
And finally ... at the end of the Floren Varsity House tour a rainbow danced over fall baseball practice at Dartmouth's Red Rolfe Field.
