,. DU Field House - Horne of the Pioneers The University of Denver Field House has taken on a dramatically new look since it was first set to rest at the school back in 1947. It was part of a $1.5 million structure that then DU athletic director Ellison Ketchum decided was well suited to the needs of a growing university. The building was donated by the War Assets Administration and the government paid for the dismantling and shipping expenses from Farragut, Idaho. The University of Denver picked up the tab for reconstruction costs. The building was 95 per cent salvable,but erection costs alone ran into the half million dollar range. The school has made additional improvements through the years that has resulted in the present facility. One of the major renovation projects took part just two years ago. An ambitious two million dollar renovation plan was approved by the university's board of trustees in February, 1973. That plan included the construction of handball and raquetball courts on what was then the east wall of the old Field House area; a new tartan surface in the basketball arena; three separate basketball floors; and bleacher seats for better than 2,000 spectators. The remodeling was an overwhelming improvement for the University of Denver basketball squad. Previously, they had been playing in a 4,000 seat arena where the floor was raised up with braces. A great amount of paint and artists design have made the University of Denver basketball facility a fine place to stage home events. During the remodeling period, The University of Denver team was forced to play its games at area hinh school gymnasiums. 5
