Back in September, our DT correspondent Kelly Diamond (C'13), showed us exactly where Penn Park was on campus.
Recently she was walking down the Walnut Street Bridge in the rain and noticed a new athletic bubble that was built right over the park!
After the jump check out Kelly's 15 second clip of Penn's new indoor practice area!

In the first episode of "Classless", Steve, a student who has been shunned by the school newspaper goes on a mission to create a second student newspaper. In doing so it looks likehe'll be getting second-rate journalists as well. Laughter of course ensues.
Last week I did a post about Penn's new $43.5 million dollar addition: Penn Park.
I will say that even after I posted the video and saw the pictures of this Park I had some problems understanding how one would get there on the Penn campus.
Rest assured alumni who haven't been back to campus in a while; after the jump, Kelly Diamond (C'13), our DT undergrad correspondent has provided another one of her famous"15 second clips" which will put everything in perspective for you!
At the beginning of this past summer, our "15 second clip" correspondent Kelly Diamond (C'13) was just about to start her fantastic internships at a Nickelodeon and Mandeville Pictures.
She told us about how she researched getting these internships, what you need to know about moving from Penn to LA and what responsibilities she had at these internships
Now that the summer is over, Kelly is back at Penn with a great follow-up for us about her summer internships and 10 career tips she learned this summer you don't want to miss! (especially the invaluable lesson Nickelodeon taught her!)
As my DT readers know, I've got tons of stories about established Penn alumni musicians, filmmakers, actors, plus dozens more entertainment professions.
I've even begun covering stories about new young alumni trying to break into entertainment careers such as acting, more acting, and music.
What I haven't covered are undergrads getting summer internships who are trying to break into the business.
This summer, our "15 second clip" campus correspondent Kelly Diamond (C'13) is out in LA and has secured not one, but two GREAT entertainment internships in TV and film at a production company and a studio.
After the jump, get some quick dish from Kelly on:
In our ongoing "Kelly on Campus" series, campus correspondent Kelly Diamond (C'13) musters up some quick "15 second clips" of events and experiences around Penn's campus.
Last we heard from Kelly, she reminded us all of an annoying Van Pelt practice every student who has gone to Penn in past few decades has gone through.
After the jump, find out how one Penn professor has given students an "entertaining" reason to attend class.
Over the past two years, I've introduced 3 exclusive DT Vlog series from Penn alumni including "An Actor's Path", "Starter Reality Star", and "Real Jobs are Not my Forte".
Today I'm introducing my first series from a talented and ambitious undergrad filmmaker who is certainly going places.
DT readers, meet sophomore Kelly Diamond (C'13), a Philly native who is currently the Creator, Executive Producer, and Head Writer for a new comedic sitcom about Penn students called "Classless". She's already spent time in LA in some really great internships with professional screenwriters Mark Rizzo (C'92) and David Milch. She was also an intern at The Writers Junction in Santa Monica.
"Kelly on Campus", Kelly's new DT series, will provide us with some fun "15 second clips" of events and experiences around Penn's campus. Kelly will act as a campus liaison by keeping everyone updated on campus events, as well as introducing alums to current students who work in the entertainment industry.
After the jump, check out Kelly's first clip which is something decades of Penn folks have experienced that will bring you right back to your undergrad days!
