Indoor Practice Facility

dam that Youngstown one is impressive.

14 million in 2011. Were spending 38 million. Ours has way more stuff on the inside like offices, weight room, etc but can we at least but some windows on it?

Also why not make a shell basement where we can have space for one of those epic player lounges. I guarantee in 10 years we will want one but won't have any space to do it

The new rendering they have of it really sucks. No windows on the top. Tiny garage doors that would make UNI laugh. It looks like they are trying so hard to match the Shaq and indoor track, it's ugly. Looks like an industrial warehouse. It feels like a major rip off for 40 million dollars

Let me guess TL Stroh was the Architect? There HAS to be someone else that can come up with mediocre design after mediocre design in town right?

It's missing downspouts.

The accent walls that break up the siding look ridiculous. They are the same color and it creates a stupid looking optical illusion. The vertical silver seams make it look unfinished. How about using the same siding as the SHAC or try something unique looking, like stucco

That's a security feature to keep opposing teams from spying on practices with a drone next to the windows. Also saves on heating costs.

I wonder if they can build it in compliance with the American Disabilities Act?

I'm not all negative, but the tall window on the back side looks great. It's just the structure visible from the street is what looks horrible. It has no curb appeal whatsoever. Looks boring AF

Harding University, a D2 program, has a more interesting look than this. They spent 5.2 million. Does this not look better from the front? Obviously it doesn't have all the stuff inside but it's still a massive structure

I've toured the Youngstown facility-not that impressive. Low ceiling height, not a full field, no locker room, weight room, etc....

They must have put all their money into the outside looks. Ours will be insanely awesome on the inside. 70 foot ceiling, full 120 yard field, locker room, team meeting room, sports medicine, weight room, fueling station, and a recruiting room.

The whole complex is going to be the best of the best for FCS and better than much of the G5. The dome itself is awesome after the upgrades. Video boards, locker room, coaches offices, new team meeting rooms, etc. The SHAC is incredible for student athlete amenities

We seem to do upgrades every year, check out the meeting room now
