The field space inside the track is larger than your typical track-ringed field... the track is a non-traditional square track with four straights... still not big enough for two fields, though.

For practice, you don't need full length fields. The field between the parking lot and football offices is PLENTY big enough for a turf practice field (width-wise) and maybe two. If the length is 70-80 yards instead of 100, so what?

Even when I played at UAB, we lined a shortened field out there and practiced on it. AND there was space left over on either side. If they push toward the parking lot a llittle, there may be width for two fields, side by side.
