Yes, Manley was originally built to be a football practice facility but it wasn't used as that very much.  Then it was changed so that you couldn't practice football in there because it was a basketball court and bleachers.  It was then renovated back under Gross in 2010 to be used as indoor practice for football as well as track and 10 other sports.  It also wasn't a full football field and limited the kicking game.

I know the history of the building.

1 - If Manley was enough and we already had 2 indoor facilities, why did we build the Ensley Center?   Exactly, it wasn't good enough and football needed a facility of their "own".   Other sports use it but Football is the priority.

2 - I didn't see football recruits leaving campus impressed with Manley and wanting to come here.  Or the Dome for that matter.  Just go to any one of the services and look at our recruiting rankings.  The Dome brought in recruits when it was first built, not so much anymore.  I think kickers love to come to Syracuse and we have had some great ones.
