Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Thanks Penny and Phil!

Should do a roof around Autzen just like that, but with the middle uncovered.

I don't really understand the need, but neat?

The practice fields this structure would eliminate are no longer needed? All indoor practice all the time? Eliminate all south end parking and place practice fields there?

I don’t get it.

My first thought for whatever reason is that this is about forest fires/air quality. You could probably do a full game in there without fans if you needed to.

If I read the article correctly, while it is an indoor practice facility it is also to provide more practice area(s) for other Duck sports, simply give all Duck sports more room to practice using the new facility as well as existing facilities. I also have mixed feelings about losing the outdoor fields.

Will we have any of the outside practice fields left? Best to practice in the elements, being that most of the college stadiums are outdoors, including our own.

I think you just answered your own question.

They'd still have Autzen if they needed to practice outdoors.

Not a fan of this concept.

Gosh how many facilities are needed?

I think the mo will be used by everyone else now. I’ve been to UW, and they have a indoor track. I’ve wondered if they could do something similar to the Mo.

It's almost as if Uncle Phil cares more about luring recruits than providing parking spots for spectators...

Seriously, in Phil I trust. This facility looks amazing and it's all about the "shock and awe" during those blue-chip recruiting visits. Whatever helps us win, I'm for it. Parking spots don't really help us win.

How about a parking structure to relieve the number of cars per sqft in the lot? That would be valuable to the customers as well.
