UNM, best indoor track venue in USA? : Speakers & Interviews

No I mean Tyson, you know the name of the track or stadium not sure which.

"tour" is right!!! It's close to nothing....

You mean Fayetteville, Arkansas?

Tyson, Arkansas. Hands down the best indoor track and facility in the nation.

From first hand experience, the Texas A&M;athletic center has WALL to WALL mondo with hydraulic banks, and stands as a world class facility. This is no comparison as a glorified garage with incredibly low ceilings. NO WAY for NCAA's or World Indoor, this place is a dump! Go with A&M;or the Armory

they play music during races!
joe said it is to entertain the crowd, as if it is not entertaining enough..

If I remember correctly, the last time that NCAA's were held at altitude was 1989, at BYU, 4500 ft elevation. Outdoors at least. There were big concerns about the elevation then, but from all the people that I have talked to about it, it was said to have been an incredible meet. Granted, the distance times were a little slow, but its a championship, so they always are.

Why would it matter if times were slower for the distance events? NCAAs are about racing, not time trialing...

you all have to listen to whats he's saying. he's not saying their track is better but the overall venue and amenities are better. the track is in downtown albuquerque next to all the hotels and place to eat, so within walking distance of everything. not to mention the airport is only 10 minutes away so you can take a hotel shuttle (no rental cars). texas a&m;is beautiful but its in college station which is in the middle of no where. you have to drive at least an 1.5 hours to get their from either austin or houston.

as runners we dont think about this stuff, but for people deciding where meets will be held all these factors are huge. just some things to think about. if i could walk from my hotel to my meet how sweet would that be?? you wouldnt have to get their 5 hours early, thats for sure

Not even close to Texas A&M;... Where has this coach been...he needs to take a tour to A&M;.

that is soooo not as nice as Texas A&Ms;!

the track is nice!

navys new track is rediculous where is the love?!

"and a solo 8:10 3k by a D2 guy. Imagine a race with the country's best.".......................*SIGH* You do reallse who this "D2 guy" was? Aaron Braun is one of the best guys in the NCAA.. PERIOD!

There is a world championship for indoors!! It's nothing to do with the weather in Northen America - open your eyes.

why are there indoor tracks in places like texas and arizona? I always thought indoors was just becuase it's too harsh outdoors.

Would it be a disadvantage to runners at sea-level colleges to run NCAA's there?

Last weekend there was a solo 4:10 mile run and a solo 8:10 3k by a D2 guy. Imagine a race with the country's best. Its about 5k for altitude so not too crazy...fast times can still be seen

Are you allowed NCAA's at altitude? What about the new venue at Texas hosting NCAA's this year... I hear thats pretty good!?
I can't see the point if having super fast track at altitude, as your never going to be able to really utilize it? Of course I am forgetting this is only the case with distance events.

Track "Pueblo" USA!

Penn States is the same type of deal just theres a HUGE turf like field on one side of the track which is perfect for warming up which is awesome

sweet venue. i think it would be great if some of these meets like ncaas and usas moved around. like ncaa basketball, different venues every year. brings some excitement to different parts of the country

ABQ is a bad a s s place to run.. TOP OF SPAIN!!!

Is that the Ette's I hear in the background!?
