Well, Oregon built the first indoor practice facility, Moshofsky Center, in the Pac-10 in 1998. UW built a bigger and better facility, the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility, in 2001. If you want to think that was merely a coincidence, go ahead. Actually, I was mistaken - Oregon's football facility built in 2013 does not include a new indoor practice facility. UW's Dempsey is still bigger and better. Well, the Ducks will just have to live with the inferior indoor practice facility. They'll just have to live with all of the bells and whistles in the Casanova Center. What facilities are UW "coincidentally" putting up in response to that? (Or.... you know.... Matthew Knight Arena....) I kinda like Hec Ed, actually. I like that it's old. It feels like it has some history to it. (The Grateful Dead even played there, something Knight Arena is never going to claim. Nor will Knight Arena ever host an NCAA Final Four, which Hec Ed did. Twice.) But with all the spiffy new LED screens everywhere, it also seems state-of-the art (until you try to go buy a hot dog or use the toilets).

Until then, however, the Sand Dawgs will be playing off-campus.
