the cathedral of sweat The family of Yale alumnus, Payne Whitney, wanted to fund a chapel in his memory. Yale already had two on-campus chapels, so the University persuaded the family to instead fund an athletic complex. Now nicknamed "The Cathedral of Sweat," the recently renovated Payne Whitney Gymnasium is the largest indoor athletic facility in the world, featuring 4 air-conditioned basketball and volleyball courts, 2 indoor swimming pools, 2 indoor jogging tracks, 26 squash and badminton courts, martial arts and dance studios, and a 20,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art fitness center with free weights, weight machines, and cardio workout machines.
