Chicago on the Move!

First of all, The BOG! One might say that it's a kind of "La Cave" of IIT.

Well, we could say that because it's the place on which people used to meet each other, to drink a beer, have fun, enjoy the end of the week. But, it's bigger and there is some more pleasant surprises inside.







First, in the first room, there is a large array of videogames (Playstation, Wii, X-BOX 360, Guitar Hero III, ...), table tennis, pool... and then,

the miracle!.... a Bowling!!!

Well i would have never expected that, to have a bowling in the Campus. So, it's not totally free, but until now, almost every week the Union Board (kind of "BDE" of IIT) organise free evenings in the BOG.

And, as an anecdote, for the first time i played there i broke records!!! my own record! --> 173!!! OMG!
Unfortunately, the next games were not as successful as the first one...







Then, the Keating Hall, IIT sports center, kingdom of every "self-respecting" sportpeople!




The Keating Hall entrance, with its legends and IIT's trophys (not visible on this picture).



Indeed, the sport in the US is not a joke!!! American "live" the sport, and it's well known here that if you are a good at sport, you can easily be successful in your studies and manage to graduate without doing "real" studies.

To figure out what sport at IIT represents, have a look at illinois athletics website.

Among Keating Hall facilities, there are:

-Squash fields


-A huge Gymnasium, split in two parts (one official for Scarlet Hawks matches, but we can also use it, and another one, more "common" on which people used to play Badminton, Indoor soccer and Basketball)







The Scarlet Hawks is the official name of each IIT sport team. Apparently, IIT seems to excel in Volleyball, especially Women's Volleyball.


The famous Women's Volleyball Team (as i said sooner, the sport here is not a joke! ^^) :


-the Soccer field:



-the famous Gym room with its huge array of body-building devices.
Indeed, you can do there every muscle-building exercises you want.
It is open almost all day long and it is totally free. you just have to show your ID Card.
