AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The two Outdoor practice fields look like they are a little less than 3/4's done with one complete with grass and the other well on its way. I know you have to let the SOD root before you can use the field but it is great for showing recruits. It also seems there is enough inside to show recruits around in off hours. With about 3 weeks before 1st game I think recruits who are at the game will be impressed between the pictures of what the finished product will look like and what they will be able to see. A lot can be done on the inside in the next 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It is exciting to watch the two outside fields nearing completion and with the pictures that were provided on the progress inside I have to admit it is getting me pumped about seeing the finished product towards end of next month. It will be fantastic to have recruits visit on game days and having some of the recruiting staff (not coaches) be able to show them around the new facility. I am assuming coaches will be very busy on game day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Will the public have access to this facility every day including game days? and what areas and hours will it be open for the public to roam around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The outdoor field is all but done a little bit left in the corner on one field. I assume they are waiting for some more grass. As is the fields look really good and give them a few weeks to root and they will be ready to practice on. I have a feeling that they will continue using current practice fields through out this year just to allow these fields to be in optimal condition for Spring ball. Once this opens does anybody know what the long range plans are for the old facilities and fields? I am assuming some of our other sports would get to use them.

AUx 3,006 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I noticed they were tearing down that viewing platform yesterday afternoon - site for my practice field pic and Harsin's "Soon" tweet. So carry a 12' ladder next time you want to spy on practice from that awesome and accessible vantage point (after they transition away from the old facility). Though someone dressed in dark blue will probably soon greet you I just happened to be around town a few days moving-in a new freshman and other things.

augolf1716 21,140 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Its nice nothing really special the biggest thing I heard about it was that it will save steps to their practice field compared to the old set up. In the old set up the players lockers were in the stadium and then they had to walk a fairly long distance to their practice fields. I'm not joking this was a big to do in saving steps.........

AUx 3,006 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Sorry @steeleagle, I overreacted. I interpreted as 24/7 all access to the general public. Yeah, good question wrt stuff like guided tours. Surely there is a public exhibition area. I would not expect any access beyond the lobby unless you're a major donor, letterman, or named Cam/Takeo/etc. Maybe an open house before they begin operations officially?

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It is really starting to look like they are getting close on the outside. I know a lot of progress has been made on the inside. It would be great if somebody could post some recent pictures on the inside. Thank you in advance if you are able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the teleportation pad in the center. Bet Auburn is the first with that. Hopefully we can beam in some HS and portal stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I keep looking at the camera views the front looks like they will be ready to start cleaning up soon and putting in grass and shrubbery. What amazes me the most is the two practice fields in a short time after laying the sod it has really greened up and it is getting hard to tell where each row of sod was put in as soon it will. The prep work they did must make a huge difference because when I did sod in my backyard it took a couple of months to no longer be able to see each piece of sod as a unique piece. I bet the players are chaffing at the bit to start getting inside and utilizing the complex. It will be great to have it ready to show to recruits. I hope it can be at least close enough to tour during the Penn State weekend. I don't think it is scheduled to be completed till end of month which would be after Penn State game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
