Indoor Practice Facility

[Cajun Express]

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?

No ac except for the basketball area. Heat? Don't know about that, but since we will have baseball, softball practicing there in January, and heat would be a need, more than simply a plus.

The "painting" SEEMS to be near completion. Anyone know exactly what they have left to do for it to take up until September?

Just wondering

1) Some of the wiring seems to be done
2) then there is the base for the turf to be placed over
3) once the turf is down UL will have new rubber pellets filtered into the turf
4) the roof and the walls metal must be secured to the frame
5) ventialtion and doors installed
6) lighting installed and adjusted
7) Basketball court layed down
8) goal post and netting installed
9) viewing towers installed
etc.

As a part of the difference makers I was with Gerald Hebert at the Tennis complex yesterday explaining my measurements of the Grandstand roof, grandstand skirting, and the pavillion roof, as they will soon be reroofed the same RED as the baseball gameday sponsor board roof, the ticket office booth, softball dugouts, baseball Lourdes park pavillions!!

As we were talking we both noticed that the lighting was being hung in the indoor facility. It was pretty exciting. The brick wall was almost finished and there is some nice brick work to it also.

Indoor practice facility looking good, as is baseball and track stadium.

But no A/C for indoor football practice in August and September? Can you say oven ...

Hot/warm air rises, and with many exaust fans/vents up high and huge water/ice cooled fans in the sliding door areas it will be plenty cool for FOOTBALL PLAYERS!!! It is meant to keep them out of the direct heat(it will), keep them cooler(it will), and out of the wind and rain(it will)!!!
