As with many Saturdays early in the start of the new year, the 14th day of 2017 was spent watching a lot of basketball. Started out in Collingswood with two games on the clock (JV and Varsity wins!). Then watched a little on the TV. And we ended up on 1/14/2017, in the Palestra watching the Penn Women (Win) and the Penn Men (Loss) played a doubleheader with Brown. But it was not the games or players that inspired me today, it was the building. The Palestra turned 90 on 1/1, and it is truly "College Basketball's Most HISTORIC Gym!" Watching the video board today and seeing the old time pics and footage inspired me. So much history in this place, and I have been blessed to have it as my home for college basketball (and Band), for Convocations, for Graduations, and more! One of the reasons I love working at Penn is inspiring places on campus, and the Palestra is at the top of the list!
