Vadalabene Center has the best facilities, but it is near the bottom in atmosphere. I understand that the gym is great for packing in high school fans for the playoffs but we’re not a high school. Who is the priority? We love to show off our pretty building to visiting schools. But does it give us that same home-court advantage that can help our team win games? Wednesday, November 11 Teams look forward to coming here and partaking of our lavish accommodations. At Quincy visiting soccer teams dress in a damp lawn mower garage, with one toilet. Basketball fans at 3pm - 7pm Lewis University and the University of Southern Indiana sit two feet from the sidelines and baselines. These are a few examples of Woodland Hall things that can make an out of town team feel uncomfortable before the game even starts. So what is done to get students at SIUE to attend games? They’re free! It’s free to sit at home too, so free is not good enough. Free Fitness Testing... The Prize Putt Contest held during half-time at SIUE is fun to watch but it is only one thing. Other schools do fun things to Body Fat, Flexibility, Strength, attract spectators to the games. At each timeout Kentucky Cardiovascular Fitness, and more! Wesleyan throws out souvenir balls, T-shirts, Frisbees, mugs, you name it. Quincy has big-wheel races, pizzas-shoots and other things to get people involved. SIUE’s blaring stereo just doesn’t measure up. Students, faculty, staff, 8c Student Students, the athletic department will listen to any suggestions you have. They’re easy to work with, go to them. Fitness Center members welcome. Athletic Department, just because the students are apathetic doesn’t mean you have to be, if you make it fun, they will come. This is a problem that shouldn’t continue. There are no **Please wear workout attire.** concrete answers as to why we don’t have fans but someone should step up and make going to games the thing to do. The Lady Cougar soccer team will host the GLVC A Wellness Center Initiative tournament this weekend. I believe the ladies need at least one SIUE Wellness Program • Campus Recreation, Student Affairs • 650-B-FIT win to make the National Tournament. If they win both games they should host a few National Tournament games. If they don’t win a game they may have to go to Evansville, Ind., or worse yet CAMPUS RECREATION to Rensselaer, Ind., or if the University of Southern Indiana or St. Joseph’s College gets three wins this week, the Lady Cougars Look us up on the NET at http://www.siue.edu/CREC • Campus Recreation, Student Affairs may stay home. Good luck, ladies!
