What are the odds of an indoor practice facility ever getting built?

(Or is that something they are even discussing?)

damn thing is about 15 years overdue now.

Welp, we cannot call it Motel 6-6 anymore. At least hopefully not!

Good thing the temp is going to somewhat fall from this week. 🥵

We've been told it is phase 3. The loading dock move for Murphy is underway and will be done by the time the SAPC is finished. Then Murphy will be renovated with luxury boxes, football offices/locker rooms removed, new main entrance beside the SAPC, etc. Unless someone donates for it in full making $ earmarked just for an IPF, we are easily 5yrs from it between Muprhy construction and fundraising. It will just be prefab metal with HVAC and some brick, but will wind up costing way more by waiting. Still no confirmation on if the track is being moved there from Murphy with some seating.

I don't agree with doing Murphy first, but they have their reason

North Texas has an IPF out here in Denton and it is similar design to what you just said. It is nice and wish we at least had something sooner than 5 years. Maybe we have a great year and get some new high worth donors this year!!

What's even more amazing is that half of America happily accepts that statement as the truth. Media only fact checks the orange menace.

Fantastic. With MT being so close to a large city, this seems like a no brainer. Lot's of money in that field if you rise up.

Totally get that. Hopefully it grows and makes it worth everyone's while.

I asked Lee beforehand if we'd be having an equipment sale. He said we didnt have enough old equipment this year. (Surprising since we got new FB jerseys)

WVU has one every year on Fan Day and releases a list before of what they have. Amount of jerseys, colors, shorts, shoes, etc with costs. all very reasonable. And not just football either. I'd love if we got to the point of doing that. Buy an old 11 jersey and get Nick to sign it. A game issued football and get CDM, etc. My son would love to have a MT soccer jersey as he's stopped football and gone full in on soccer.

We will just keep growing the program and get there. Baby steps. 😀

If I am in charge the first thing I do after the football facility is done is brick the football stadium to match the baseball stadium. The grey we have is just awful and cheap looking.

I've always wondered what it would cost to glass in the sides with what's on the Murphy Center.

I understand it may not be feasible, but if we could enclose it and make the 1st and 2nd level like a club area. Also, give somewhere to go in inclement weather. Blue turf inside it.

There is a gravel lot that is essentially where the hotel will sit. Definitely something that will help the university!

Not sure I see SH making that big of a jump, but no issue with the rest, at least without any games to see yet

I’m starting to get a little nervous about it. It seems like they are getting more confident that we will have rain.

Weather app on my phone reports that at 7 pm central there will be a 50/50 chance of showers or storms & 82 degrees.

Just got an XBOX Series S for CFB25. It's the only game I have and probably the only game I'll own for a bit. If anyone is up to play online, hit me up and we'll see if we can figure it out.
