Good call...Here's a picture with the mats almost against the wall. There's a stage on the other end. They also use the Field House for the tournament.

But it sort of reminds me of an airplane hangar. Not the best looking gym I've even seen.
Place looks pretty good for wrestling.

Thank You that’s what I thought I know exactly where that is. My dad told me the Harlem Globetrotters played there once and his friends dad reffed the game and he slipped in some water and he was hurting

I miss Hobart Arena hosting tournament basketball games. I get that Troy's new(er) gym is plenty big enough and pretty nice, but there was something about watching basketball in Hobart Arena that made the game feel like a special atmosphere.

No photos, but I was also there and loved it.
Another awesome experience was at Warren Western Reserve. Beautiful gym that sat even more than Harding. (3,200)
A shame that school was only around such a short time before they merged the two schools.

Does anyone have pictures and/or know the seating capacity for new gym?

No pictures yet as the new building won't be done until later this year. I do know the new gym will be bigger.

"The Pit" at Triway High School is 58 years old and is well known for its unique nature.
We are building a new school for approximately the 2024 school year (in the design process right now), so "The Pit" may be in its last few years of existence. The new gym design is still up in the air at this point.

Looks like a fantastic place to watch (and play) a game."The Pit" at Triway High School is 58 years old and is well known for its unique nature.

A suggestion I wish would have been thought of locally with a few rebuilds: if they still have wood bench seating, save them from the wrecking ball. If it's like most schools, there is a lot of history carved into those seats that can be put to good use, pieces cut up to raise funds or unique decoration in the new building by someone with an eye for such things. Or even reuse some in the student section to continue tradition.

IMHO, ideally, I would like 2500 capacity, but 2000 could be fine. Also, I'm a sucker for bilevel (I love balcony seats) seating much like many of the bigger schools in the area

I do believe that the new school will have two gyms. The only thing I know for sure is the main gym will be bigger than the pit.

That's a nice looking gym. Its a shame it won't be hosting games much longer. A lot of times gyms start to show their age before they get replaced, but this one looks like its been well-maintained by Triway."The Pit" at Triway High School is 58 years old and is well known for its unique nature.
