In the 50-plus years since, Memo- rial Hall has been the site of numerous basketball games, concerts, volleyball matches, political rallies and of course, wrestling matches. Memorial Hall hosted the Centennial Conference Wrestling Championships in both 1999 and 2005. Although it is more than 50 years old, Memorial Hall, which has a built-in seating capacity of 3,529, remains a thoroughly modern facility. Recent improvements have included the addition of an overhead scoreboard and the 2004 repainting of the floor.

Life Sports Center A three-level, 40,000- square-foot addition to the Life Sports Center opened in August 2004, further improv- ing Muhlenberg College’s athletic facilities. The addition, built directly west of the John Deitrich Field House, includes a large weight facility, an expanded cardio-fitness area, a snack bar, new facilities for health service and counseling, training rooms, locker rooms and coaches’ offices. The structure offers a spectacular view of the College’s outdoor facilities and is joined to the original Life Sports Center by a large indoor corridor on the main level. A new main entrance faces the campus. The project also entailed renovations in the Field House, including installation of a new floor and track, new netting, new lighting and painting.

Wrestling Room As a result of the Life Sports Center renova- tion, the Muhlenberg wrestling team was able to move back into its original room, which had been converted to a weight room in 1999. More spacious than the Mules’ previous home, the wrestling room features a full-size mat, weight station and stationary bike and allows the team to have more productive practices.
