New Indoor practice facility video - Construction begins Friday, Nov 18th

Anyone who attended with any information to share?

What are going to be the practice field dimensions? Seems like it would be important to have the full width of a field to practice with than the full length.

It’s a full width/length field with a 15 foot buffer on all four sides.

When do they expect to open?

What’s going to cover the bottom openings? Anybody know?

On the sides they have some type of brick or stone they’ve been laying so I asume they’ll be continuing that around the bottom ring.

Ya, it looks to be the “buff” brick that ties into the brick and color used around campus. ex: The stadium, New Sophomore dorms, Garrison, UC, and etc. Just to name a few.

Anyone have an current estimated move in time?

Duarte said September. From what I recall, this facility isn’t meant to be for every day practice anyway. It’s suppose to be for bad weather days. (these guys need to practice outside as much as possible because that’s where they are playing) It would be nice to have it the week before the Arizona game since all the experts have us losing that game. We need as much uninterrupted time as possible to prep for it.

Frankly I think it’s more important that we have a solid grasp on who the number one QB is and a healthy offensive line before September to get off to a good start more than needing this facility up and running. I don’t want to see a repeat of 2007.

I have not seen one expert showing us losing.
