Is the volleyball team playing at reed for the long term or are they going to have a permanent home made in the future? I would love to see a small facility for them, seating about 5,000, that would be awesome. I know a lot of big schools have those (nebraska comes to mind) and would be awesome.

I haven't heard anything about a new volleyball facility. I would have to imagine any new facility for volleyball (if one happens) would be behind Kyle Field, softball field, outdoor track and field, and indoor tennis since I have heard rumors or more for all of those projects.

What would be the reason to build a dedicated volleyball facility?

Is it primarily for atmosphere of games and improve game experience of fans and recruits? Or, are there issues with the three teams sharing the practice facilities? Is there just one practice gym?

I do remember back when we played in G Rollie hearing our volleyball coach talk about how nice it was to be able to practice when ever they wanted without regard to the basketball team schedules thus implying that was an advantage over schools with nicer facilities but shared those facilities with basketball. Then when we moved I remember reading something about how nice it will be for volleyball to play in the updated facility with all of the amenities.

I haven't been to a vball match since they moved to Reed, but do they use the basketball court? or bring in their own court.

I just always thought the volleyball specific court at G. Rollie was neat, and I'm sure that helps recruiting on some level.

I would think something that seats 5k would be perfect for volleyball, no?

they use the basketball court, they use the old basketball practice facilities. mens and womens basketball have their own facilities with the expansion off the south side.
