I hadn’t thought that much about skating, but now I am looking forward to it too!

Unfortunately, to keep it less crowded, you'd need to keep the price high!<br/><br/>Workout space on this campus is so limited that it's impossible to find the right balance of price and accessibility. I will be posting soon on this blog about a new workout space that just opened on campus, its implications, and the prospects for more workout space in the future.<br/><br/>Working on this with Mike has been about a year out of my life, and it feels great to get such a positive response from all directions. Everyone, go out and enjoy!!! I will definitely be up for some skating in September.<br/><br/>-Neal Sunshine, the crowding issue has definitely been thought of.

I'm pretty impressed. Actually, I am very impressed.<br/><br/>I will admit, though, that I am slightly concerned about how crowded the BirdCoop will get now that fees have been lowered so much. I work out there now, and it's already probably functioning at capacity. Has anyone else thought about this?
