Won't work.

They're on to us after we got Bartow Arena built by calling it a convocation center.

We can always try that again as it doesn't hurt to at least try it maybe we can fool them again

Well we got Regions Park also

Make them turn you down 50 times. In fact, make sure there is something about them turning you down for something in the paper every week.

If it's good enough for gameday it's good enough for practice.

And if we're going to move gameday to another off campus facility that will be a permanent move, why not just move the entire football operations to the Langford Dome and not have to transport anything ever?

I strongly suspect that we'll have it together to build an indoor practice facility long before the city can build a dome. If they build it, we'll be playing in it, because frankly I think the dome happens before the OCS does, but an indoor facility is a helluva lot more doable.

The cheapest ACC indoor practice facility looks to be Georgia Tech's at $6.7 million........up to 48 million for UNC's. Around 15-20 million seems to be the norm.

Sports Medicine Facility
Hall of Fame
Academic Center

IAC will have:

6 lane 300 meter track
Batting cages for baseball and softball

The IAC took up 14.5 million of the 30 million.

Sounds about right...........still less than what the bammers are spending on their baseball complex. I didn't know MTSU built that though.....looks good!

An indoor practice facility about 84,000sf can be built for 6 million in my estimation.

Not if you want a waterfall and wave pool it can't

We want football players not Feng Shui artists

Hell we put a Lazy River in the Rec center. If we tell them it has nothing to do with athletics it will be approved. We just install it in the wrong location.

In what area is the Watson Brown shrine?

Next to the McGee one

His name's Brown. That doesn't belong in a urinal.

If it's Brown....

Sorry to get off topic.

Back to the topic.

How do these locker rooms relate to other locker rooms of teams in our conference, etc?
