Absolutely they are wishing that. Thankfully just raining, but it is cold and wet and crappy up here. The kids have been stuck in the champion's center, but it looked like they were having a good time from the pictures.

My takeaway from this is.....it is a legitimate football field, 100yards from goaline to goaline with each endzone being 10 yards deep.Footage from this morning
The irony that this field has a track around it and it's still more beautiful than what EWOO has for an actual stadium.
Damn that's sweet.

How are the bubs doing pitching their tent? They got the stakes pounded in yet?

Not sure if we can talk sh it on this since a safety pin can probably pop our “tent”?
They're bubs. We can always talk shit. And isn't their field like 80 yards long? Ostmo would have run right through the end of the thing on his carry during the Brawl, leaving a perfect Ostmo-shaped hole. Like Kool-Aid Man.
They rolled in the black rubber pellets today and are constructing a black wrought iron fence around the perimeter.
I actually talked to a bobcat buddy recently and he was giving me some shit about the bubble. When I asked him about their indoor, he admitted it was only 80 yards and was supposed to be some type of fabric or canvas. He wasn’t positive though. He admitted he couldn’t give us much shit if that’s the case.

I think at one point there was talk about the canvas siding being an option, as that was cheaper and could be constructed faster. That said, I think they scrapped the fast/cheap plan and decided to opt for the more expensive $26Million facility that is a steel structure with metal siding and some brick veneer. the 100 yard field is to accommodate the 300-meter indoor track.
When it's all said and done, I think it will be a great option for both football and track.
That specifically says fabric siding.
"Preliminary Program – Main Turf Building • Pre-engineered metal framed structure with tensioned fabric siding."

Yeah. Looks like that probably the case?
I guess we’ll see here in a few months.

Their circus tent will have a great view of the shit pond

Remember when their campus building roof collapsed under a snow load recently? My neighbor said they used insurance money from that roof collapse to build the circus tent. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme
If they were going to change the materials and blueprints, it would have had to go through the Board of Regents. I do not believe that changing the exterior has been proposed.
The schools have a LOT less freedom to build without BoR approval than a lot of people realize.

Right. Also that doc also doesn’t say really anything about a track. So could be an old doc. Not sure. We’ll all find out together in a few short months.
