It's only a 15 minute drive from the stadium and I'm positive my friend that owns it would give them a decent price. I'm not sure how many players still live in Northern Kentucky but it would obviously be a lot easier for them and I feel pretty confident in saying that this place is even better than UC's.
I am glad that we do have UC's to practice in because this weather is a ***** and it's pouring rain now and is supposed to keep going for the next day and a half.
(There's a few soccer-size fields, so it's larger than just that picture.)
Oh, and the turf at their indoor field is the same as in Paul Brown, which makes me think that he already had thoughts of the Bengals practicing there when he built it..........
I looked up the dimensions. Griffin's turf field size is 30 yds x 70 yds. The UC bubble is a full 53 x 100 regulation field. Not to mention, the bubble's ceiling is 75 feet high. I couldn't find height for Griffin, but that picture looks maybe about 30-40 feet.
Griffin would be similar to when the Bengals used to practice at Wall 2 Wall soccer in Mason. That field is 27 yds x 63 yds.
