Augsburg College Athletic Facilities -- Kennedy Center Virtual Tour

To the right of the Lute Olson Hall of Champions is the Alan and Gloria Rice Wrestling Center, one of the centerpieces of the Kennedy Center project. Outside the facility is a mural celebrating the long and storied history of Augsburg's wrestling program. Adjacent to the facility are offices for the Augsburg wrestling staff and a conference room.

Kennedy Center

The Alan and Gloria Rice Wrestling Center features three full-size and two half-size mats, providing adequate space for the entire Augsburg wrestling team to practice comfortably. The facility is one of the largest among not only NCAA Division III wrestling programs, but even among those in upper divisions of the NCAA and NAIA. Fitness equipment and a TV/DVD system are also in the facility.

Each of the full-size mats also has a Daktronics scoreboard, enabling the facility to also be used a competition space. Matches of the Auggie-Brute-Adidas Open are held in the facility, and the space is rented often by youth and amateur wrestling programs.

Kennedy Center

The facility is named for Alan Rice, a National Wrestling Hall of Fame member and Minnesota native, who gave a $1 million gift in memory of his wife, Gloria, who passed away in 2001. Rice has spent a lifetime involved in competing, coaching and promoting amateur wrestling. He was a two-time high school state champion, two-time Big Ten champion and an All-American at Minnesota, and competed for more than a decade at the Olympic level. He coached the U.S. Greco-Roman wrestling team at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Alan and Gloria formed the Minnesota Amateur Wrestling Club in 1966, which has become one of the most prominent in the country in developing Olympic-level wrestlers.

Kennedy Center

Along the north wall of the facility are photos of Augsburg's All-Americans, celebrating the rich history of the most dominant program in all of small-college wrestling.
