We recently went and visited the Georgia Tech Recreation Center. It was a very nice and huge facility that was very well kept and organized. It had a main floor with the lobby and main weight room with all the equipment you could ever need: Eliptical, treadmill, free weights, and more. They also had a number of indoor pools. Jonathan Hart was our tour guide and he told us all the construction that went into the Campus Recreation Center and all the problems they have had with it in the past. It was the home site for the Aquatics in the 1996 Olympics, but since then it has been expanded quite a bit. They added an entirely separate floor above the main floor of the facility with basketball courts and an indoor running track above those. There are also classrooms and workout rooms on the upper floor as well. I loved the facility and it is exactly the type of facility that I would love to own or operate in the future.
After that, we went to the Georgia Dome and took a tour of that facility. We went up to the press box/media room on the upper-most floor of the stadium, and eventually made it into the locker room of the Falcons =). We got a tour of the suites available for Falcon's games and also the area where the press and media get to sit and watch the game (which is on the 50 yard line). The last thing we did, after going into the Falcon's locker room and seeing their coach's offices and such, we actually got to walk out of the tunnel the Falcon's run out of and onto the field. It was an amazing experience for me and I really enjoyed the entire tour. The facility is one of the most amazing places I've ever visited.
