DUTCH NATION: Pride Club/Lounge Open House + Facility Tour!
Re: DUTCH NATION: Pride Club/Lounge Open House + Facility T
Great shots...practice facility is AWESOME...Makes you PROUD to be a Hofstra fan! When Jay Wright visited it, he said it was better than Villanova's and dispatched his facility person to come up and look at it!

Great to meet many of you last night. I enjoyed the pre and post game activities very much. Of course a win over Charleston would have made the night complete.

Bob it has been sectioned off and is exclusive for the basketball teams only. It rivals UConns practice facility definitely the nicest in the CAA. Jeff Hathaway designed it after the UConn facility

It is, but with major upgrades to that space and the rest of the building. It's like makeover you see on TV when they totally redo the same house and it looks much, much better afterwards.bobe13 wrote:iSN'T IT A REMAKE OF THE PORTION OF THE pHYSICAL FITNESS CENTER THAT ALWAYS HAD A BASKETBALL COURT?HUSID80 wrote:Great shots...practice facility is AWESOME...Makes you PROUD to be a Hofstra fan!

The practice facility is BEAUTIFUL! Truly an amazing investment by Hathaway. His presence has been remarkable to Hofstra sports. Thank you so much to everybody on here that was involved in setting it up. It was great matching some usernames to faces.

Fantastic FANTASTIC event folks!! Just a great time, and it was really awesome to have our group well-represented and provided with super treatment by the Admin.
This was a resounding success from both sides, and you all can expect more things like this in the future.
The pre-game Lounge food, drinks, and coach talk was awesome - I was amazed that they open it up to questions! Really enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity for direct interaction.
Halftime was great again with giveaways and continued food and drink!
The practice facility is just super, it really is. A beautifully done place, great attention to detail, impressive looking everywhere you look, and with well-thought out functionality. Great job by this admin. I can only imagine how much it is loved by the actual staff and players. Kudos to Jeff & Co. for throwing in time and freedom for us to have a shootaround all to ourselves for a good 45 minutes - that was an awesome touch and really a great experience!
I have some good pics as well to load up, will try to soon. Stay tuned for our next events, and the next meeting on the 28th!
