The energy of the loggers in the crowd in the final countdown of a basketball game, the sweet smell of fresh pineapple at the annual Puget Sound Luau, the steam fogging the mirrors of the overcrowded weight room, and the flashes of cameras capturing Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ crowd surfing and beat boxing: these are the familiar experiences of Puget Sound students with the Memorial Fieldhouse. But those are just the main court experiences. What action can be had in every corner or hallway, every classroom or mini court?
Memorial Fieldhouse hosts over 15 ASUPS clubs throughout the
week. Upstairs, above the fitness center, one can find the dance studios.
Weekday mornings, beginning yoga and step aerobics classes are taught. Come
about 3pm, a number of martial arts clubs, as well as the ping-pong, and circus
clubs practice and meet. In the evenings, the stereo systems and live drumming
can be heard as Luau and RDG rehearse for their final performances.
Just across the hall from the dance studios, one can learn
the art and science of rock climbing. The wall is changed frequently by
students to ensure a variety of routes and challenges. The climbing club offers
learning opportunities for all levels as well as competitive events for those
who are more advanced. So next time you are looking for some physical activity,
no need to put up with the musty smell of the workout equipment in the weight
room, check out all that the Fieldhouse has to offer!
