It is nothing like what I thought their gym would be. The assigner even tells officials to be early so they can get a parking spot.

Definately worth it, though. Hell - I'd walk from downtown D.C. up to Hyatsville for the chance to call a Dematha game.

There is a gym in Wilberforce Ohio that's really old. From the outside, it looks like an Army barracks. Inside, it's very dark. The floor has to be about 110 feet long! Additionally, the floor is not flat. There are small hills and valleys throughout the floor.

They did have good popcorn at the concessions stand, however.
