Not Having a Practice Facility is an Absolute Embarrassment

That leaves a lot of cold, a lot of hot, a lot snowy, a lot of rainy, and a lot of windy days where we outside where others properly run teams are indoors.

2.) The small indoor one is 20 yards with low ceilings. No intermediate to long passes. No punting. No kicking. No deep route work. No 11 on 11 drills. etc. etc. etc.

3.) The weight room has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

4.) Then I suppose you know more than the other NFL teams, every major college program, and dozens of high schools. They all build these things for no reason whatsoever. I guess they all just love wasting millions of dollars.

5.) See #4. If it were a minor thing you wouldn't see the investments made across the board from all of these teams and programs.

Well you mentioned other players look down without one.. I countered with how our top notch facilities in other areas would help with players coming.. and UC is a place they do use.. so that also weakens your point of no place to go.. just really not a big issue and a waste of money as i see it.. especially with a small market.. Finally is getting less and less of an issue anyway with Global Warming
