Quite arguably the most historic basketball arena in Minnesota - Hutton Arena, home to DIII's Hamline University Pipers. Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota is older by 8-9 years, but Hutton has far more history. The Lakers even played here a couple of times, and Vern Mikkelsen apparently lived here for a while.

Pre-renovation Hayward field had a ton of character, and it's a shame they had to massively renovate it to host the world championships next year

This is what it looks like now...

I believe the uprights come out from the walls like basketball hoops in some gyms, maybe that's why I've always had an acute fascination with the space.

CWU track facility. It was moved from Tomlinson Stadium. While the infield is not used for track, the throw facilities are top noth and the track is superb and has some great potential I think CWU is slated to host a Regional in the future.

Union City High School with the football and baseball field on the roof of the high school. Great view of NYC.

Shot clocks in high school might be more common than you think. I know for certain that the two highest classifications in South Dakota have a shot clock rule, and thus all gyms of these schools have shot clocks. But, it might be a cost issue for smaller schools.

Perham upgraded their facilities a few years back and they added shot clocks, which made some waves online - almost like they were taking a shot directly at the MSHSL. They are a big basketball town.

This is SMSU's old football stadium, they moved in 2008 to their new one. This facility sat empty for 6 years, and the decision makers decided to renovate it into this instead of tearing it down. It's a joint effort between the college and high school. All the throwing is done in that corner between the baseball field and the track. It's a nice use of space and I believe it gets used a lot by all parties involved.

That's crazy. I would imagine that they have drainage for figured out for watering the grass, and for potentially heavy rainstorms. Also, the roof is strong enough to support the weight of several dozen people on top of the roof at the same time. I am impressed at the structural engineering to accommodate that.
