Space is the problem. Our competitors (i.e. Providence) are building stand alone facilities that are 58,000+ sqft. That’s the size of the Richie regan athletic center. How do you compete with that?
That’s a little misleading because it includes the actual rec center, Alumni Hall and student center, which are all connected to each other at PC. But to make their practice facility a part of that complex of buildings, they were also able to buy an actual street from the city and several homes in order to expand out the footprint. That’s something which obviously could never happen here, and shows what SHU is dealing with from a space perspective.
