So $13 million for the part the players get to use and $19 million for the offices? That seems about right.

I'm sure there will be overly comfortable chairs for player meetings and well stocked refrigerators.

Don't think a practice field has a lot of interior walls and electrical outlets running through it.  I'm sure it will be all a player could want or need.

Well, the going rate these days for a decent table and chair set is $31,000.

The Football Operations Building will house the team, coaching, training and operational functions of the USF Football Program, and the Indoor Practice facility will provide an enclosed and environmentally controlled synthetic turf practice field for the USF Football Program.

IPF is a waste of money unless it can double as an OCS. The University should economize and thing of multi-use facilities

Isn't that what the less than 10 year old and $15 million Selmon Athletics Center currently does or are we in dire need of a new building?

Exactly. Just ask the Bucs. They had more success when they practiced at their meager location by the airport (playoff wins, championship games, Superbowl). They haven't done a thing since moving into their new "palace."......They were supposed to attract all the top free agents with that place...What a joke.
