Old photos of Memorial Gym

Post by BrentVU »

Showing my age here... I am old enough to remember the windows up high (that let a lot of sunlight in for afternoon games), and the baskets that seemed to descend from heaven. I also got some swim lessons as a boy in that pool.

Ah, memories. Check out the press box, center court just above the south side seats…Larry Munson’s perch. He had to climb a little ladder up into it.

Amazing. These pictures look like something out of A Stanley Kubrick film. Dr. Strangelove or something.

Architcetural/engineering achievement of the highest order to get all the balconies in that building.

I always thought that pool looked a little gloomy in the 70's when I first started going to games..
