don't get me wrong, I'm giddy about the new practice facility, but I was mildly disappointed they didn't have a 3rd gym space in the facility for v-ball. How much more would it have cost to have added that? ISU v-ball has great potential to reach the next level consistently based on recent success and the coaching staff. I know Coach Johnson and her husband personally and I think they have the know-how and recruiting connections to get it done at ISU.... I know the sport of volleyball isn't as popular as the game of basketball in Iowa, but considering how Cylcone nation embraced women's hoops in the last decade, I think a similar pattern could happen with volleyball to where there are 3-4k fans attending games consistently in hilton. I'm not sure if thats enough to help the Athletic dept. financially, but it sure couldn't hurt. Wisconsin consistently draws crowds of 10k+ for women's v-ball games in Madison and the huskers fill pershing auditorium in lincoln for v-ball like they do memorial stadium for football.
