Kids were also able to enjoy face painting stations and see the three mascots of the 2002 Salt Lake City Games — Powder, Copper and Coal. #beijing2022 #winterolympics #speedskating #sportstravel

The Marriott Center is home to the #BYU Cougars me The Marriott Center is home to the #BYU Cougars men's and women's basketball teams and among the largest on-campus #basketball arenas in the nation. Wednesday’s in-state matchup between the Cougars and Utah State also drew a large contingent of Aggies fans from Logan who made their voice heard throughout, although the hosts came away with the victory in front of its raucous student section. The Marriott Center — named after J. Willard Marriott, founder of the Marriott Corporation — underwent a giant renovation in 2017 with new seating throughout the lower bowl while maintaining some of the historic benches and seating areas in the upper sections.

UBS Arena has opened on Long Island in New York as UBS Arena has opened on Long Island in New York as the new home of the New York Islanders. Opening weekend saw two losses for the home team, but fans seemed excited about the new nearly 19,000-seat digs. Islander greats Bobby Nystrom, John Tonelli, Ken Morrow and others were on hand to greet fans; season-ticket holders could see their names on the concourse walls; Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken franchise is among the concession stands; fans can be up close to the arena’s organ; and the relatively low ceiling is meant to resemble the team’s longtime former arena, where the Stanley Cup banners from the ‘80s have made the trip as well. . . @ubsarena @oakviewgroup @ny_islanders #isles #islanders #arena @bigchickenshaq #ubsarena #hockey #sportsvenues #fans #arena @ubs
The Albergue Olimpico, or Olympic Training Center The Albergue Olimpico, or Olympic Training Center of Puerto Rico, is located about 45 minutes from San Juan. With multiple facilities spread out over 1,500 acres, the complex opened in 1986 and has the capacity to host up to 480 athletes at any time. It also has its own sport and health center and is a home not only for athletes, but it has a series of water parks open to the community. Its facilities have also been restored and renovated since Hurricane Maria came through in 2017 as you can see from how the gymnastics facility looked after Maria to present day.

The golf scene in @discoverpuertorico is one of th The golf scene in @discoverpuertorico is one of the most beautiful in the world but do not sleep on the many other sporting activities in the region. The island’s Sports Hall of Fame has artifacts dating decades with a wall of honor listing every single inductee since 1950’s inaugural class. Home to more than 60 boxing world champions including Iván Calderón, he now works to train the next generation of men’s and women’s world champions. Puerto Rico’s Olympic history is also marked by the gold medal won in 2016 by women’s tennis pro Monica Puig. And no trip is completed without going to see Coliseo Roberto Clemente, named after the legendary baseball Hall of Famer and island icon. It’s also the home for the ongoing Baloncesto Superior Nacional playoffs, hosted by the Cangrejeros de Santurce. #puertorico #SportsTravelOnLocation
