Do you need a student ID to use the rec center?

[livinthedream]

My daughter runs cross country and her coach wants her to train for the mn state sectionals this weekend, we will be in ames for the game and I thought it would be neat for her to use the indoor facility to do her running. She is an 8th grader running varsity which her mom and I are very proud of....any input on how to pull this off would be great.....thanks in advance.

It is going to be in the 50s, take her out to the cross country facility.

Yea, an ISUcard is needed.

 

[wxman1]

yes you do...you could probably use the Ames high track though

 

[livinthedream]

I would love to do just that...where is it located? The cross country facility that is....

 

[NETransplant]

You do need an ID to get in for 'free', but I'm pretty sure you can also just get like a day pass or something since she's not a student.

The XC track is right next to Towers off of Mortenson.

Since its a football weekend, I would just go to Ames High.

I think its $5 or $10 bucks for a day pass for non-students.

I wanna say I paid $10 a couple years ago, then someone told me they lowered it ... its all very fuzzy.

Right west of the towers dorms.

Thanks for the input...we will use the cross country facility....thanks for the quick responses all!!!

 

[clones_jer]

they'll probably have basketball set up on the big lower track ... upstairs is like 5.5 laps to a mile, if that bothers her.

the "facility" is just a grassy field and a mile through the woods - its nice for what it is, but don't be expecting a structure of any kind.

Lied Recreation Athletic Center : Rec Services

Day Pass is $6, but you must be over 18 and accompanied by an "eligible user" (student/faculty/staff/etc).

I spent four years paying to build this facility, risked my knees and ankles for 3 months breaking in the rubber floors after it opened(always left with the shoes covered in red dust--kinda like playing tennis on a clay court, you slid to a stop), then I had to keep my student ID in my wallet 2 years after graduating so that I could get in the building any time I came back to visit friends.

Rant over.

I'm not sure if they can contact the coach given her age.

Do you just show the ISU card or scan it?

Scan it

 

[Cyznutz]

The Rec has become huge D-bags about the cards and scanning!! I remember coming back to visit and just flashing my card after graduation, then sometime in '06 I think they started this whole scanning deal! ******* jag offs!!
