Justin, Todd & Bob,
Thank you. Based on your feed back I am now leaning toward Ordinary 2.
This will be a better solution not knowing what the building could be used
for in the future

Subject: RE: INDOOR SPORTS FACILITY FIELD HOUSE
Not in my opinion. We should always look at the definitions for each
occupancy classification as opposed to the list in the annex. These
facilities have a lot of plastics and combustibles that exceed the
definition of light hazard and they are of heights exceeding 8 ft so OH1 is
probably not adequate.
When I look at the foam in landing pits of gymnasiums or even the bleachers,
I'd have a hard time seeing a simple gymnasium as light hazard.
This is a personal opinion.

NFPA does not define Field houses.
Indoor Track, Basketball Courts, Tennis Courts and Climbing Wall. The new
building will be 37'-0 high to the peak of a flat roof.
Would it be safe to use Light Hazard Occupancy?
