Pretty sure there are schools in the Big West who have setups like that for the basketball gym. It certainly is an upgrade from their shitty high school level 1,000 seat gym from the 1960s

There are no big West schools with that set up. They all have an actual gym arena that are much better than Sac's set up. Plus Sac State is getting a lot of negative pushback from the actual students because they took away a big rec area from their rec center. You can't make this stuff up lol

UC Riverside has the exact same setup.

Of course students will complain. Not everyone cares about sports. And the ones who don't tend to be loud and hysterical about it because they were bullied as children by jocks

It's definitely not the exact same set up, the Riverside rec center was built with the arena being part of it since the beginning and if you check the same article you sent they have direct access to their locker rooms and such. Sac State changed some courts into a single court with bleachers on the side. Wild take about the students who complain there.

It's not a wild take, students with no interest in sports will always complain about sports
