Well, that's more than they did when I was at Penn State. Back then, 78-80,
the regular football practice field was torn up (for construction, I
believe) and Paterno needed a place for the football team to practice for the
upcoming bowl game. So, there went the indoor ice skating rink. A small
outside rink was set up if I remember correctly.
