Yes, it's snowing hard in Baltimore, but I seriously doubt it will interfere with the new arena opening at Coppin a few hours from now. Hades will freeze before the Eagles are denied the chance to flaunt their new crib for crosstown rival Morgan State. Really looking forward to seeing happy faces when the fans get their first look at this hardwood palace.
A few zip codes away, another arena opens today. Howard County officials will cut the ribbon on a public indoor sports facility, the latest phase of Meadowbrook Park near the intersection of routes 29 and 100 in Ellicott City.
Meadowbrook Park arena features volleyball and basketball courts, but can accommodate other games and activities. The 33,000 square-foot recreation facility completes an $8.5 million project.
The 77-acre park features three baseball fields; an open-play area; a large playground; two tennis courts; two basketball courts; two picnic pavilions; and approximately 2.5 miles of sidewalks and pathways, plus a 2.5-mile loop circling the park, parking, landscape, and restroom facilities.
(We hope there's sledding hills, because they'd come in handy today.)
Congratulations to these two communities, who will greatly enjoy these newest additions to the Maryland sports and recreation scene.
