With the softball field moving, this looks to be a massive facility. Does anyone have access to blueprints as to what all will go in this?

I know a 100 yard field and a physical therapy clinic are part of the plan, but not sure what else may be implemented there.

Will endzones be included to make it 120 yards long? Just curious.

How many schools have full size indoor facilities? Do they make the ceilings high enough to allow for punting?

To be building this says that App State is all in on football and has some high expectations.

Expectations and enthusiasm has remained high despite recent dips in performance. No conference championships since 2019. Hopefully that changes soon!

I’d say all of the P4 schools have an indoor facility. I wouldn’t think all of them have high enough ceilings to punt in, but probably a decent amount. I would think most, if not all, also have full size fields.

G5 isn’t as luxurious, obviously. I know Marshall has a 120 yard indoor facility, and then on the flip side I believe JMUs is only 40 yards. I know a few of the southern SBC schools have gone the route of throwing a roof over a practice field, but otherwise it’s open air.

I think this facility indicates a pretty heavy commitment from App, I would imagine this will be one of the better indoor facilities in the G5.

In the Sun Belt the following schools have indoor practive facilities...App, Ark State, Marshall, ULL, Coastal, South Alabama & Southern Miss all have indoor facilities (i'm unsure it a ball can be punted in them but they all appear to greater than 50 yards in length).

Georgia Southern has a covered field that is exposed to weather and JMU has a small 180' x 180' facility...its cute

Troy has plans to build one

LaTech, ULM, Georgia State do not have one...

Probably more than we think can accommodate punting. Dartmouth's IPF can.accomdate punting. That sample size of one extrapolated to actual football schools😂😂😂

I'm almost 100% positive that our new indoor facility is going to be 120 yds and high enough to hold full practices. In other news I rode by the new Coastal indoor facility and it looked full length and high enough for punts as well.
