I guess beggars can't be choosy, if in fact that monstrosity is It. Flat roofing should work well in CNY during the winter. :crazy: Whatever - just build a facility.

Nice find. Can anyone verify that this is the facility that will actually be built? Looks very nice but of course it needs more orange.

Oh boy, a box!

Oh boy, a box!

They're remodeling the locker rooms and training facilities at Manley this Summer.

All we need is a box 120 yards long by 65 yards wide with a football field inside.

Oh boy, a box!

1) it's got a full size feild in it

2) it's not a bubble

It's ugly as hell, but whatever. Serves the purpose.

That building has the personality as our head coach...it doesn't!

Get creative for pete sakes. Use some orange bricks, instead of a flat roof do a mini-dome on the building, Orange tinted glass. SOMETHING to make it stand out and scream "SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY."

I actually like the looks of it.

I like the picture showing a plowed parking lot, lol, complete with snow banks!

it looks like an empty home depot---but i'll take it and like it just get it built

Have Home Depot sponser it and plaster orange all over the ***** just get it done!

Not bad, could be a lot worse. Like what we have now.

Wow some of you are hard to please. Just be happy that we will be getting a practice facility at some point. My goodness.

There is a giant picture of McNabb on the outside of it for crying out loud! I'd say that screams SU.

 

[OrangeMaNPD]

Cool find, thanks.

I think that it will be great. Combine this with the dome which is still one of the best on campus venues and we have everything we need

This is not bad compared to uconn's Mark Schenkman Training center. I looked at the giants and colts indoor facilities. There's looked pretty plain too. I think we should atleast put some poster of past SU greats in there. Like the ones that are in the weight room. LSU have that. The question is when will the funds be ready and when will they start diggin so they can atleast start showing the recruits photos of what they will soon have if they choose the orange

 

[All4SU]

It's cool. It looks like giant ice cube.

State Penn's football facility for comparison

We don't need extravagent and gaudy to compete with that, and what that SU design shows will at least bring us close to level or above most other East coast schools.

We're never going to outgun big schools

 

[Cuseman78]

And some are actually complaining -- its an indoor practice facility. Its supposed to be practical. Many of them look like airplane hangars. This would be HUGE for recruiting if it happens.

Exactly!

Heck, just be glad SU officials are not opting for something like this:


I like the looks of it myself. It would be nice to actually see groundbreaking for this real soon.

Oh boy, a box!

Not just a box but a 100,000 sq ft rectangular box

I say we exceed every single program out there...this would make THREE indoor fields

 

[SUfaninAZ]

I rather like it. ASU has a giant bubble as well... This is waaaay better.
