Boo. There goes the "kickers field"
I ask out of complete ignorance, but can the kickers work indoors? Are the ceilings high enough?

Looks like you'll be able to kick. Not punt. You want to practice in Conditions anyway. And our last game is late nov, early December. (Aside form bowl games). We aren't in canada, so I don't see the huge need for indoor facility, but it does allow for a more efficient offensive practice if it's wet.

I'm definitely joking. Really fantastic! Really really needed, along with the weight center. After the new weight center goes in, would like to see them expand the practice locker room and players lounge into where the old weight room is. Last major thing needing upgrading.
The practice locker room is pretty nice.
It was an absolute piece of garbage your freshman year.
Kinal is on target to punt more than anyone in college football history....
No doubt. I don't like the current setup though. A bit claustrophobic. I like an oval or rectangle with all the lockers on the outside. It lends itself to getting to know your teammates better. And there will be room for it with no use of the crappy thing they call a weight room now.
If clawson can really get interest of stud 3-4 star prospects, which I think he's demonstrated so far, why stop improving. This would also be the cheapest upgrade compared to indoor facility, weight room, video board etc. "just" knock down some walls. And re-carpet/drywall, etc.
Maybe something has changed, but I think part of the upgrade is to the practice locker rooms to make them first class and improve the layout. They bagged the major upgrades at BBT field and are spending the $'s on campus because that is where the majority of time is spent. The team will dress there before games and then bus over (similar to Clemson).
Can somebody give me specifics on why an indoor facility is better apart from (1) weather issues; and (2) have to be able to show one to recruits? Not questioning the decision to build one, I just struggle to understand how it will help the program beyond the two points already listed, which by themselves would not seem to justify the expense and use of space.
You also have to realize it will be utilized by other sports as well. Not necessarily for full all out practice but at least for skill drills and conditioning during bad weather.
