This was the initial drawing for the basketball practice facility:  http://blogs.tampabay.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/26/rendering_2.jpg

Will this be the new building that will be sticking out of the Sun Dome?

We're getting THAT and a new baseball stadium and a new softball stadium and 3 football practice fields for 30 million dollars?? Is that possible ...?

[Bruce Blingstein]

no way that possible for 30 million unless builders are that desperate.

No...

That was the Original concept for the Athletic Training Center, which was the first building conceived for the Athletics district.

I wonder why they moved it from the north to the south side of the Dome?

Here is the article from last year that referenced the building:  http://blogs.tampabay.com/usf/2008/03/usf-to-announce.html

The basketball practice facility was moved because it's footprint overlapped the footprint of the Wellness Center.

I think that is an early rendering of the practice facility.  I think it intentionally resembles the athletic facility.

Guys, the new practice facility may take on a look that is similar but the building is much smaller.  It's just a couple of courts, locker rooms, etc.
