Looks like their indoor field will be the only practice field over 65 yards long...

The article does mention that the VT facility will be 85 feet tall, allowing for punting/kicking indoors...though I don't really see that as much of a benefit. Sounds like they put a premium on aesthetics since it will be viewable from the stadium. Meanwhile, our practice facilities are mostly hidden from the public.
Meanwhile, it looks like we'll clear some landscaping, extend our short field and end up with 3 full length practice fields as part of this project.
A football field is over 50 yds wide, so if the pic is anywhere near scale the indoor field at VT will be 100+ yds.
