Arizona Wildcats athletic director Dave Heeke welcomed all media members to the new Cole and Jeannie Davis Sports Center on Sunday night, walking through all of the amenities and bells and whistles. Like a proud father showing off his son’s accomplishments, Heeke was brimming with pride.
“This is an important piece of the puzzle,” Heeke said. “When you talk about investment in facilities, investment in programs ... it shows that we are committed in a major way to this football program, and we want it to be successful.”
Heeke went on to mention how the football team had to cancel or postpone close to 10 practices last fall due to monsoon storms and the lightning that comes with them, leaving new coach Kevin Sumlin often scrambling to reschedule and adjust on the fly.
