We have created indoor installations inside museums, like the Wrapped Floor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1968, and not monumental at all by any standards.

We're not an outdoor team, obviously; we're an indoor team. Up here in the Northeast, we're a little more subdued. I wanted them to see an atmosphere that's loud, kind of like a basketball arena. Everybody is shouting and yelling and screaming, which the team isn't used to.

We have a young team, but I think we're going to be deeper in the middle distance than we have been in the past. I like the indoor meets just because it gives us a chance to run against other people and other competition. We don't have what you would call a track, so it's a good place to get times and see where we're at.

We have a really fun business. We have a big indoor play yard and big outdoor play yard for the dogs.

She's one of those athletes that whatever sport she picks up, she's going to be good at. In track and field, she's going to be great. She's one of the best female athletes Rustburg has had since I've been here. Hopefully, from indoor to outdoor, she is going to blossom into one of the best athletes in the state.

Olivier and I had a great match in the Davis Cup on clay a few weeks ago, ... It's nice to have a rematch against him on indoor hard.

Obviously this is big for Mary Alice. She's broken just ridiculous amounts of school records and she had her best indoor season ever.

I am extremely excited about the performance tonight. We had several personal bests, and I'm really pleased with how Jamaal (Charles) and Ryan (Palmer) stepped in today and competed. Raymond (Harris) is showing us that he will be a player at the indoor conference meet.

I am humbled by these supporters. Indoor volleyball is much more popular here than in the U.S. It's good to see fans show commitment.

But we've played in some tough places this season. We've been to the Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor Stadium, Maryland and Michigan. It's not like we don't know what it's like to play in a hostile environment.

I have a lot to accomplish here still. I've got the indoor 400-meter championship under my belt, and I want to get the 200 championship under my belt. And I want to get some outdoor championships, the 200 or the 400, or maybe both. And I want to try to get the most All-American titles in school history.

We've been trying to simulate a lot of crowd noise. For example, at practice all week we've played loud music in order to simulate the chaotic environment. All season long we've played better on the road than we have at U-Hall. Sometimes there's not as much pressure on you on the road because there are no classmates or friends in the stands, and hopefully we'll be able to continue that trend. We need to be able to handle the atmosphere of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Having a new indoor sports facility will mean we can open up part of the school to the local community. It is hoped that by opening up the new sports hall to the general public, the school will generate enough income to remain self-financing.

There is an emphasis now on developing high-performance schools, and part of that will be to measure how changes in indoor air quality improve the performance of children. By studying how emissions from normal furnishings affect children performing classroom tasks, you can estimate what might happen if you reduce the emissions.

Jake always trains hard. He trained hard in high school and trained hard as a freshman. He just has a lot of belief in himself. He had a really good indoor season and I think it carries over. Sometimes athletes just get on a roll. He's in a zone. That's just the way it is for him right now and it's just working.

I think we showed a lot of tenacity when we took the doubles point against Florida. We played Florida close and went up against the defending indoor champions in Baylor, and the team showed a lot of toughness.

I think all the fans will enjoy the action-packed excitement of indoor football and also enjoy the luxury of the Hard Rock Live venue itself.

Overall it was a good weekend, with several more Big East qualifiers and with two more weeks of preparation, I think we will be ready for our first ever Big East indoor conference championships.

We're a little behind schedule (in pre-registration), but then again the weather was all over the map. People were just trying to figure out whether it was outdoor or indoor weather. We usually like to be somewhere around 400 to 500 the day of the race. I don't know if we'll be there but that's where we'd like to be.

We have a good core of kids to build the team around, and that's really encouraging. I've seen these kids work very hard during the indoor season, and now we're going to see what we're about ... It's nice to train but opening day and that first meet is always exciting.

We wanted to make it a nice place not only for people to play tennis, but to come and watch tennis. This really adds to Logan and Cache County as a whole as it's definitely the nicest indoor tennis facility.

We are coming off a really good indoor season, and we feel very confident about what we are capable of doing outdoors.

We're trying to find where kids can help our team and get some confidence. Indoor meets are non-scoring meets, so you can move people around and experiment a bit. You can find out what you really have before you put together your full lineup for the outdoor season.

Why not, although he's an indoor specialist. I think he's definitely within reach and hopefully I can do it.

We need to sharpen up our receiving and passing skills, and the indoor style will be a good environment for us to improve on these fundamentals. Spring competition is also great in that it allows for players who were not in the starting lineup during the regular season an opportunity to gain experience and confidence. Each year when your seniors graduate, there are always new players who emerge as your core group and as your leaders making it exciting for coaches to watch happen.

Until I see an announcement that they officially have a league, I'm not going to comment. The NLL throws some things out there. They talked about having a second indoor league, the NLL2, and they've talked about expanding to something like 29 teams. None of that has come to fruition.

We had a real good night. There were eight schools there and were by far the smallest - the only 1A school. I think now we're ready to run outside. We've been running pretty well inside and I think we'll be sharper than some teams that have only had one indoor meet.

This was the second week in a row. That's a good place for her to end indoor season and get ready for outdoors.

You have to give Perry credit. This was like playing at (Duke University's) Cameron Indoor Stadium. Perry's fans made it a tough and exciting atmosphere. But we kept our composure.

We had the first-game jitters. We had a lot of guys who were playing their first-ever indoor game. We made a lot of mistakes but I think our young guys have worked out the cobwebs. I'm hoping that it's going to be a lot different game than two weeks ago. No, I'm banking on it being a lot different game.

We feel we will have a safe and reliable indoor practice field that we anticipate using more often in the future.

This one I really wanted because they've been around for so many years and they have such a great history in indoor soccer. It's progress. When these guys focus we're one of the best teams in the league.

Everybody knows that Tommy is a wonderful athlete. I think last year is behind him and he's excited about the new year. If he can look at the indoor season as a means to an end, I believe he can turn it into a great positive for the outdoor season.

At the end of my second indoor season, my doctor told me, 'You're a bright guy, and you have an ankle that will keep deteriorating over time. We'll take away a lot of bone. My honest recommendation is that you move on,' ... At 23, that's a blow. He made the point, if you try to play on this ankle over time, we're going to keep taking away bone, and you're going to be a prime candidate for a replacement ankle at the age of 40.

Distance-wise, for some reason, this indoor track does not make for good times.

Army is a pretty strong team. They've beaten us the last couple of years. It's just going to be another match like we've played in the past. Both teams are pretty strong with both singles and doubles. Hopefully, we will be able to play them outside, which will be a little more of an advantage for us because they are a little more of an indoor team.

Especially big ties. When we've played the finals before, quite often I'd played the Masters Cup and the whole indoor circuit and a lot of matches and maybe I was physically run down a little bit going in,

There's nothing closer to indoor golf than here in November and December because you have that air conditioned air feel with no bugs and no wind. It literally feels like you're playing in a dome. It's that good.

It was unfortunate. I thought they were a better indoor team than we were and their match ups worked at No. 2 and No. 3 because they got one of those points. The doubles point was a lot closer this time, and we had our chances.

The throwers went so they could finally compete in their events. During the indoor season they never get the chance to compete. The runners that went just wanted to run against some America East competition, to get better prepared for the season.

I've never been a big fan of indoor meets, but something must have gone right today. It's a really good start to the season.

On the women's side I thought we had a very good day. We picked up right where we left off at the indoor season and jumped right into outdoor. This is a good sign of what is to come for the rest of the season.

One guy had this can't-miss idea to go dig up old coins at the site of former disused government mints, and he just needed a bit of money to get started ... some guy had an idea for an indoor amusement park.

Colby was the class of the meet, running the fastest 3,200 of the night, and pulling away from the field with a solid performance in the 1,600. He's been consistently running under 10 in the 3,200 and we expect with a break in the weather and some good training that he can run in the 30s or 40s by the end of the indoor season.

That's helped a lot. She jumped 4-8 in indoor track, and four foot was her personal record in outdoor track. She should break her own record in that again this year. She's more or less still in shape too.

This is an important meet for us. We are sending a full team, and it's the last competition before the Big Ten Indoor Championships. All of the athletes' training has been geared toward peaking at Big Ten's, and we feel like the team is on course at this point.

They were injuring each other as a result of overcrowding. Our facility was not designed to house this many animals of this size and strength. The compound in Texas is more than four times larger, with both indoor and outdoor facilities for them.

They seem to be excited out here after spending most of the winter in the catacombs of the indoor center.

A lot of the lads have been at the Academy this winter so we have been training quite hard in indoor school, so to get outside and get a bit of Caribbean sunshine and get some competitive cricket is very exciting for everybody. So we are looking forward to it.

They offered extra swim times and different promotions to encourage the use of the indoor pool, but it's just hard to get people to go indoors.

They had already had their indoor season and been practicing. So I was less prepared. I can't drop out of a conference tournament. Plus, in order to be a successful student, you just don't have time for everything.

This is the indoor conference championship. This is what you get your teams ready to do-compete at a very high level.

It's fashion driven. Manufacturers recognize that consumers want their outdoor spaces as stylish and fashionable as their indoor spaces.
