Any idea what these racks would be for?

It's for the go-go dancers, obviously.

Ah, I see, I thought that was out in left field, but clearly...?

I'm just stymied. They are clearly for something, as they have cloth things tied around the top, and they haven't bothered pulling them down. They're right next to a gymnasium; dan thought they might be for football practice, but that seems deeply wrong.

Drying racks for sweaty protective-wear?... torture?... I'm stymied.

How could I have missed it?!

My first thought was football practice as well- I've seen practice equipment that looks slightly like those... add in the right amount of padding, and you have something for people to practice running into.

Perhaps you can tie nets to them? Maybe they are multipurpose for different sizes of nets?

Yea- I think you're right. If they're the skeleton of something with a heckovalot of padding... that might make sense.

But I thought those things were usually movable (on things like runners, so you'd hit it and move it a few inches)... That's what I learned from the movies, anyway. ;)

Clearly, I wasn't wandering out the parts of campus that you were wandering around. I never saw these things (whatever they are). When I first saw the picture, before reading your statement that they were near the gym, I was wondering if they were used to create a support for growing plants or something.

Speaking of walks around the campus, it had some terrific little trails. Did you take the one toward the field house, but then take a left onto the path behind the camping area, instead of continuing on to the field house?

I didn't go around behind the camping area- I would've walked around that area more on Friday evening, but the mosquitos were eating me alive!

The only other path I took was through some low grass in the flood plain, trying to get shots of some bunnies running around.

As for whatever this thing is: if you walked to the field-house, you probably came close to these things. These were near the field-house buildings; the outdoor bleachers are off the shot on the left, and one of the sides of the field-house complex is a bit off to the right.

It was slightly tricky to get shots without karma shave signs in them. *sigh*
