Indoor practice fieldhouse

[Mama_Bull]

My understanding is that the Cowboys' accident has made indoor facilities considerably more expensive, but also a lot safer. And USF would be looking at a structure that would be a fieldhouse -- more than just a hollow building with a field inside. Again, still a lot of details to be worked out and funds to be raised. But it's very much a when, not an if.

That's why I asked, "When does construction start?" Was there anything new today about that from the AD or Holtz?

[cmhatter]

when and where did AD say this?

[E.T.]

Think it was mainly mentioned because of the rain

Think Skip mentioned on the radio

thx

Nonetheless a step in the right direction. In my opinion it is a necessity in Florida.

Per AD, 12-14 Million, next upgrade on schedule. New TV deal will help!

For comparison:

UCF's indoor facility was $4.3 million in 2004.

Yes, but UCF's is also pretty shabby compared to what we will build for ours. Don't get me wrong - it's still more than we have and thus an advantage for UCF. But it was built like their stadium - in a rush and out of neccessiry. They call it "The Oven" because it's so hot and is also the place where Plancher died of exhaustion.

When USF will do it we will do it well.

That was my point

Is it scheduled to be built between the Athletic Building and the Track?

Our indoor practice facility is going to be very nice, much better than UCF's cheaply built building. Hopefully we have it within the next 4 years.
