    BRIAN PATTERSON SPORTS PERFORMANCE CENTER An exciting new chapter in the storied history of Rice Stadium and Rice Athletics debuts this fall when the Owls move into their sparkling new end zone facility, the Brian Patterson Sports Perfor- mance Center. The fully-funded $33 million project includes a 60,000-square-foot, two-story structure that houses a weight room, a home team locker room, coaching and staff offices, an auditorium, a football team lounge and areas for training and sports medicine that include hydrotherapy, plunge pools and exam rooms. The weight room and sports medicine areas will be available to student-athletes from all sports at Rice. The new building features a glass wall on the side facing the football field that offers a view of the weight rooms on the ground and second floors. The other three sides will be made of brick that complements the color of the brick on the rest of the stadium. White columns supporting the roof will be similar to the columns in other parts of the stadium. A concrete ramp will provide access to the football field. Fans will also benefit from the dramatic upgrade in facilities with the installation of a new Daktronics video system Rice Stadium will also feature two acoustically transparent video displays in front of the venue’s speaker systems. These free-form LED stick applications will measure 29 feet high by 10 feet wide to provide additional video and graphics capabilities in a space typically used for fixed signage. These displays will provide flexibility to show multiple sponsorship messages throughout an event or additional graphics to pump up the crowd at key moments during the game.

    BRIAN PATTERSON SPORTS PERFORMANCE CENTER An exciting new chapter in the storied history of Rice Stadium and Rice Athletics debuts this fall when the Owls move into their sparkling new end zone facility, the Brian Patterson Sports Perfor- mance Center. The fully-funded $33 million project includes a 60,000-square-foot, two-story structure that houses a weight room, a home team locker room, coaching and staff offices, an auditorium, a football team lounge and areas for training and sports medicine that include hydrotherapy, plunge pools and exam rooms. The weight room and sports medicine areas will be available to student-athletes from all sports at Rice. The new building features a glass wall on the side facing the football field that offers a view of the weight rooms on the ground and second floors. The other three sides will be made of brick that complements the color of the brick on the rest of the stadium. White columns supporting the roof will be similar to the columns in other parts of the stadium. A concrete ramp will provide access to the football field. Fans will also benefit from the dramatic upgrade in facilities with the installation of a new Daktronics video system Rice Stadium will also feature two acoustically transparent video displays in front of the venue’s speaker systems. These free-form LED stick applications will measure 29 feet high by 10 feet wide to provide additional video and graphics capabilities in a space typically used for fixed signage. These displays will provide flexibility to show multiple sponsorship messages throughout an event or additional graphics to pump up the crowd at key moments during the game.
