Ben Porter, a Rain City Badger, sent us the following photo's from the dedication ceremony of the Porter Boathouse which was dedicated in memory of his dad and his two brothers who were Badgers in the 30's. The Porter Boathouse is twice the size of the Conibear Shellhouse, covers three floors, and is dedicated solely to men's and women's rowing. The Wisconsin crew shares its shellhouse with the Wisconsin football program and other general athletic department programs. The photos show the new rowing tanks; the facility from Lake Mendota; the reception area which can be divided into three work out areas for the three Wisconsin rowing programs: men's, openweight women's, and lightweight women's.
