Forget the atmosphere and the agenda, if you can. So much has changed inside the Puskar Center in 14 months that it’s really remarkable to look at it now and remember what it was once like.

Let me put this properly: It wasn’t bad. It was better than many other places I had been inside through the years. But it wasn’t impressive or special or something like that, which is to say it wasn’t then what it is now.

Dana Holgorsen, with the counsel and consent of his boss, Oliver Luck, has been busy. He’s touched this and tilted that, replaced that and reimagined this, bringing to life plans he had for the team’s headquarters since literally the first time he was in that building.

He is consumed by improving the places where the Mountaineers meet and practice. Inside the Puskar Center is where they meet and things have happened, are happening and will continue to happen.

WVU practices in separate, thus far untouched space and he has issues and items to address.

“The weight room is used 365 days out of the year and that’s no different than practice,” he said. “The functionality of our weight room is an issue that’s high on the list. That’s got to be changed.”

Outside of the Puskar Center, WVU has other problems. Holgorsen would prefer to practice on grass around 80 percent of the time.

He can only use the grass practice field for about two weeks before the turf is too damaged to continue. He said the indoor practice facility “doesn’t exist, unless it’s offseason conditioning,” because it has a 70-yard field and a low ceiling that prevents any type of constructive kicking or punting.

The Mountaineers are instead left with the stadium, and that’s not ideal, either.

“First, it’s not big enough,” he said. “It’s a field-and-a-quarter when everybody in the world has at least two full practice fields. We’re tripping over each other in there.

“To me, practicing in there every now and then is something special. Playing games in there is something special. But now being in there is like an everyday thing. So it’s space and it’s that Mountaineer Field needs to be special. You need to be in there when it’s time to be in there.”
