Indoor Practice Facility

[IndyBison]

Have you not seen an IPF before? What size were you anticipating it to be?

Most are smaller surprisingly. They usually aren't high enough for a punter to get full hang time. They may have other buildings attached to them but mostly they are stand alone metal sheds. And I've been in at least 3 B1G IPF plus Norte Dame's previous facility.

God forbid the punters can't max out! Lol. That's cool though. From what little research I've done they seem a bit like pickups.... they've gotten a lot bigger and with a lot more bells and whistles the last 10 years

I drove down University and damn... that building is HUGE AF!

Isn't it?!?! I drive by it every day, and I'm always amazed at the size...(insert "that's what she said" joke here...).

I drove up and took a peek on Sunday morning after church and I was shocked....going to be a damn impressive facility.

Pretty sure ours isn't tall enough for a full punt either. Either way it will be great and is sorely needed.

The scoreboard in Jerry World is 90 feet up and can get hit by some punts. Is 72 feet high enough for our punters?

This article from a few years ago said the original plans will be high enough for punters.

The scoreboard has been hit in Dallas but it's pretty rare.q 72 feet is slightly higher than the bubble and is higher over a larger area, so well be fine

Ok engineering experts, obviously 72 ft is only in the center. Most kicks are like to be to one side or the other. What is the height 10 ft to each side? How about 20 ft to each side?

I vote for kickers kick outside where the next aircraft is out of range

This conundrum will be the end of Bison football dominance in FCS. We need to move back down to DII or NAIA.
