High-quality sports facilities are an essential tool in recruiting top collegiate athletes and coaches. They enhance the school's competitiveness and enable expansion of the school's sports programs. In choosing schools, top athletes and coaches assess the quality of the stadium, playing fields, track and courts. But they also will be looking at the facilities, equipment and amenities behind the scenes--locker rooms, training rooms, team meeting rooms, visiting team rooms, equipment rooms, laundry/uniform storage rooms, alumni/recruitment rooms and coaches' offices. Athletes, in particular, focus on three areas: locker rooms, training rooms and team meeting rooms.
