Dartmouth's Haldeman Family Director of Athletics and Recreation, Mike Harrity and Dartmouth College announce a project to renovate Dartmouth's Rupert C. Thompson Arena, that will modernize locker rooms and team spaces, and benefit team building, student-athlete development, and future recruiting.
Thompson Arena has been the home of Dartmouth men's and women's hockey since opening in 1975. The 11,050-square-foot renovation will provide both programs with new locker rooms, team lounges, sports medicine spaces, a weight room, a coaches' suite, as well as a new donor and fan hospitality space on the concourse level.

Chicago Fire FC Releases Renderings of New Stadium
The Chicago Fire FC teased soccer under the skyline Monday with renderings of the team’s proposed $650 million South Loop stadium, to be bankrolled by billionaire owner Joe Mansueto.
Fans would stream down from Roosevelt Road into the 22,000-seat, open-air pitch on the north end of the parcel known as The 78 — the long-vacant area near Clark Street that White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf had coveted for a new stadium until Mansueto called dibs earlier this month.
The first detailed visions of the proposed stadium — which is already an approved use for the site, paving an easier path to city approval — suggest an unpretentious riverside venue beneath a sweeping vista of the Willis Tower.

Project 24 Breaks Ground on New Climbing Gym
In the wild and wondrous sport of climbing, there is an endeavor known as a project. A project is a specific route or boulder problem that the climber aspires to complete, but lacks the ability to achieve. “Projecting” is the act of repeatedly trying to scale the route, often unsuccessfully. Completion of a project requires grit, determination and a certain degree of relentlessness that is ingrained in every climber. It makes sense then, that when Austin Venhaus and Aaron Rutsky embarked on the adventure to open Sarasota’s first climbing gym, they picked a name that reflected their lofty aspirations.
Project 24—named after the year the pair aimed to open the gym—was technically open in 2024, just not in the way the pair envisioned. What had started out in 2019 as Venhaus’s idea to open a climbing gym morphed into Project 24 Micro—a compact, garage-style bouldering facility, with the intention all along of creating a much larger space that could accommodate the increasing crowds and different styles of climbing. “Originally we wanted a space that had rope climbing, bouldering, a fitness area and more, but due to financial restraints of starting the project, we decided to do just bouldering,” says Austin.
