Indoor Practice Facility

Four and a half hours with no traffic and a blatant disregard for the law.

The seemingly-constant rains in the Acadiana area haven¹t had a big effect on the work schedules for UL's under-construction indoor practice facility. If the building itself was on hand, it would be a different story. "As long as the contractors finish the foundation work before the building gets here," said UL physical plant director Bill Crist, "we haven't lost any time. The weather may have caused some delay, but the area's draining well." The building itself is a pre-fabricated metal facility, and will arrive at the site ready to be assembled. "If there's anything that's behind, that's where it is," Crist said. "There's a lot involved in preparing and processing the metal building." One of the main areas of emphasis for the on-site contractors has been the new practice field, required when the Ragin' Cajuns report in early August to start fall football drills. Crist said that field is almost ready with only a few bare spots and minor touch-up work remaining. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

from the large rendering of what the facility is going to look like on the fence, it looks to me like there will be air condition all the way around. but then i might be overlooking something

I think that the air conditioning deal is over rated----If it has the right ventalation along with these Air Coolers around the inside walls, all is well---Actually, one wouldn't want true AC!!!! This would make wosses out of the athletes and not really prepare them for the games as they should!!! AND-It will be used in all the cold times---Remember those times---Cajun field is unreal in these times!!!!

Roughly the same as a sense of humor.
