Someday if we build other necessities maybe we can look at an indoor facility. Its certainly another tool to wow recruits. Im jealous of the Youngstown facility. UND has talked about it. But i think in a strange way, having camp in 90 degree heat with full humidity builds character. Location? We could do it where the grass fields are and still keep nearly 2 grass fields
Could they use it for camps?
The football team practiced in some awful weather before the 2010 playoff game vs MSU; it didn't look like they were under-practiced.
I am sure they could always practice here:
