The three sections have a combined seating capacity of 10,000. Many Facilities The building provides space for competition in basketball, indoor track, wrestling, fencing, gymnas- tics, lacrosse and hockey. Practice facilities are also avail- able for football, baseball, track, soccer, golf and tennis, as well as for intramural events. Both Tartan and Astroturf sur- faces were utilized in the building. The basketball court and indoor track are covered with Tartan stir- faces. The basketball court is not as hard as the conventional wooden courts, provides good traction and gives more bounce to the ball. The one-sixth-mile track also is covered with Tartan surface, but a rougher surfaced version. This should give longevity, require less maintenance than the normal track, and provide greater traction to the runners. Inside the track is a netted area, 119 by 125 Feet, which includes a baseball infield and one half of a football field. Special Rooms Included Spectators for both the hockey and basketball games will be seated A hockey arena which can seat 2,600 fans is included in the huge Air Force Academy Field House.

There are also four lo-foot radio booths, and another go-foot press area.
