Wagner getting ready for FAU

FAU Athletics tweet confirms practice is a go but inside at the Burrow.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

And this is why we need an indoor practice facility.

Eastern Michigan built one for $3.9 million back in 09'. Cheapest I have seen so far.

EDIT:

UCF's field house, which I personally have walked around in and think is great cost $4.3 million. They use it to host a bunch of 7-on-7 tournaments, which gets top recruits on campus.

Anyone know if it would be feasable to "Buble" the existing track and field area? That could save some costs and havign a an indoor track and field complex would be unique.

call me crazy but i think they need to stay conditioned for the outdoors of florida. Realistically how many practices do they lose because of rain? I think the indoor facility is waste and will hurt us in the long run.

How so?

You have to realize that the threat of rain controls our practice schedule. Instead of practicing in the afternoon, we now practice in the morning. Is the better or worse for the team? I don't know.

I will say that not being able to practice on a Monday of game week is huge. This is when a majority of game-week preparations are installed.

If we had an indoor facility, that doesn't mean that every practice in there, just the ones that are threatened by the weather.

tennis facilities in the northeast area put bubbles of their outdoor facilities every freaking winter, it cant be that much. build on behind the palm trees of the practice fields of the oxley center. it doesn't have to be special. i do concur, i think its a big deal not to practice on game week on a field.

ESPN760 reports on its High School Blog, that West Boca, and Boca Raton High School have been moved to Saturday. As for the practice bubble, its up to AD Chun, and Coach Pelini if they want something like that.
