Barton Hall is also home to arguably the greatest single Grateful Dead performance of all time, and this is out of well over 2,400 shows spanning 30 years. The bands concert there on May 8th, 1977 is considered by many Deadheads to be the crème de la crème of live Dead shows, and for very good reason. The Scarlet>Fire alone is worth the price of admission. Get yourself a crispy soundboard version of Cornell 77, gather your closest friends, light the incense or whatever happens to be lying around, and dig it with ease. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

The track was recently redone, and is excellent. The hours vary, and often track meets or ROTC events can interrupt and take precedence. However, this is a gorgeous historical gem on Cornells campus that beautifully houses the Navy ROTC, Air Force ROTC, Army ROTC and the Cornell Track team.

Largest space on campus to hold an indoor event, annual career fair is held here for 250 companies and 3,000 students. Can get hot/stuffy when crowded. Brand new track installed in Summer 2017. Really nice.

Im always amazed when I go in this building. The large size inside with the track is always cool to see. Hosts some good concerts occasionally.

Ohh what a sight it is! To see the Cornell typeface on the glass, to see the Cornell Flag hanging amidst the other ivys. Oh what a sight it is!

Greatest Dead show of all time? Probably. May 8, 1977 at Barton Hall... you will live on FOREVER! A miracle that day, for sure.

Specifically only for the sports team so I individual practice is not allowed, but its a very good sports centre
