Indoor Practice Facility

[NewsCopy]

Now that construction at UL’s indoor practice facility has reached a stage where the building’s length and width are becoming visible, it’s much easier to see how impressive a facility this will be when completed this spring. One end of the giant building, the one closest to the Cajun Courts tennis facility, has all the supports in place and the roof beams spanning the walls. The side-wall construction has a skeleton that goes to the opposite end of the structure that will eventually house a full-size football field. It’s a big building when viewed from the context of other structures in and nearby the Cajuns’ athletic complex. It’s even bigger when you’re standing next to one of the beams that supports the side walls. The rest of the story CajunBlog by Dan McDonald Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

I also had a chance to drive by on the 24th (was in town for christmas). It is indeed impressive. Much larger looking in person than the pictures would seem to indicate. For you local folks - keep posting updates. This is an exciting time for Ragin Cajun athletics!

The size is probably beyond the minds eye. A person really needs to see it up close and personal.

They finished hanging red steel on the main building today.

I could not beleive the size as I drove past for the first time today---Maybe we should have gone across the street---Seems like it took a bunch of practice space!! I think I could do a lil recruiting with this thing!!!

BTW, haven't "seen" any updates on the practice facility since the end of December. Anyone still taking pictures? Any roof or wall sheet metal going up yet, or still only beams? Thanks,

No roof no skin, but it looks like all the beams are up.
