Not sure where that "movement" towards one went when the team redid a bunch of the interior training elements inside PBS (maybe that was the trade off to some degree). Next time I get a chance to run it by someone, I will.
But the reality of it at this point would be a multi-million investment away from PBS and, if it's done right, IMO, moving the entire team's base of operations out of the stadium the people paid for it to be.
It doesn't make much sense to me for them to build, say, a single $25 million permanent dome somewhere in NKY they use a few times a winter and have to bus to and from.
1. I'd love to know what happened to those plans.
2. That also crossed my mind (that maybe the 20 yard field was a compromise)
3. Personally, I've always thought they should just use a couple of the fields next to PBS. If they need to practice outdoors, they should still have the 3rd field (that was barely used when I went to TC in 2013), or they could practice in PBS. Just spitballing, but I think they could make it work if they really wanted to.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
