Also, mike Kelley athletic director said construction of the indoor football field would start at the end of the summer... it’s October, has construction started , if not what is the reason.

The last I heard is it will be ready for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very large thread on the subject; just search for it (hint; latest rumor is the announcement will be made at homecoming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulloni Posted October 13, 2021 Group: Member Topic Count: 67 Content Count: 2,409 Reputation: 1,395 Days Won: 22 Joined: 02/01/2015 Share Posted October 13, 2021 2 possible reasons I see for why construction hasn’t started: 1.) we have 3 practice fields currently. To build an IPF in the middle of the season would probably take up at least 1.5 of those. Jeff Scott might be telling them to hold off until the end of the season because it would put us at a disadvantage limiting our practice space 2.) we’ve heard USF wants to build the OCS near the athletics so it’s central to all our other athletic facilities. They may hold out on starting construction until they have the OCS plans finalized in case they want the IPF in a specific proximity to the stadium. I see number 1 as more likely. They are still pretty confident it’ll be done by the start of next season. If #2 was the case that means they’d have location and renderings of the OCS-IPF-football center area done by the end of this season as that’s when they’d need to start construction. Which feels optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least they probably won't have to worry about us practicing in December for a bowl game, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
