I always wondered why they weren't put up before. I would post a pic, but don't know how to post a twitter picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local high schools use the USF track for meets regularily. USF is pretty good about working with community's kids, but some fields have to be fenced so they don't get vandalized, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is now a black privacy screen. I am guessing this was requested by the new staff or finally in the budget? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually are more accessible than most Colleges and NFL teams for the most part. Edited March 28, 2013 by Dhambuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF's parking garages' ramps are great for hill work running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UF's track is open almost 24/7 and I don't think they have many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated, it was pretty easy for someone to see right through the fence, which would be easy for a "spy" to pick up plays in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
