Indoor Practice Facility

[HelmutVII]

I know this was supposed to be ready for Spring drills, but obviously it's not going to be. What is the deal? They started coating the beams and now it's been a few weeks since I've really seen them working again. Shouldn't they be taking advantage of the weather?

Remember when they said this thing was ahead of schedule, what happened?

The past two weeks while not rainy have been very windy. The problem with spraying paint in the wind is that none of it gets onto what you are painting. It gets blown away before it gets to the surface. The higher you go the worse it gets because the overspray lands further away. Usually that some where is the nearest parking lot or street. You can imagine the number of cars passing on Cajun dome Blvd. and the student cars parked at the stadium all getting overspray on them. Given good painting weather the building could change color in about three days. I have had water tower projects drag on for weeks and then in two good days it's finished.

Makes sense to me!

Folks, it seems that our fearless leaders are at it again. Current plans for the Facility do not include an indoor track facility. As someone else pointed out, Tennis could also use an indoor venue, but to the best of my knowledge, it has not even been considered.

Since this facility is being funded largely by student fees, I have drafted a petition to the SGA asking that they endorse the inclusion of both a Competition Grade indoor track facility, and an indoor tennis facility. Both could use the same seating and occupy the same area, just not at the same time.

Please go to the url shown below and sign this petition, and send all your friends. Thanks.

Who is this DAME you refer to, and is she hot?

And also, what is this "draingage" device? What does it do? And what are its potential impacts on business and socitey?

I think "draingage" is a measuring device used to detect how poorly the field drains. Either that or it has something to do with the "DAME"



What's up Cajunlove?

P.S.

I can't make it out to the Tigue tonight so if you want my 4 tickets let me know.

Easy to see why some want a red roof.

Today, Friday March 2, was an excellent day to paint so I decided to check out the progress. It looks like about 75% of all the red steel is now white. Another day like today and they should be real close to a finished paint job. I would think it would take about 15 to 20 WORKING days to skin the building.

On another note, the first level of campus parking garage is almost finished with falsework starting to for the second level. They should be finished by the fall.

I heard to day that our practice facility is heated but will not have an air conditioner.

First, is this true?

Second, is that common?
