IPF Updates

[UNTLifer]

Maybe we could consolidate all of the updates in one thread.  Not sure how to do that.

Here's one from today that was posted on Twitter.

New practice field

Not sure why this is combining the two.

Great pics! You nailed it! Thanks

I know that this sounds stupid to most of you, but help me out  

Do they not practice punt or kick returns in the indoor facility?  The ceiling is obviously too low for that ( ??  )

OMG I love a good megathread! Make this happen!

Maybe they could develop a virtual reality punting mat, similar to the ones you find at golf shops while trying out golf clubs 🤔

i believe it's tall enough for field goal kicks and maybe kickoffs.  Certainly not enough for a full punt, but you can practice everything about the play and just throw the ball to mimic the punt or kick.

Maybe they are trying to emphasize the "Rugby" punting style

It’s taller than you think it is, and I believe it’s 54-56 feet high? 

It doesn’t look it when you first look in but once inside you’ll look up and question wether you could hit the ceiling or not?

Hope not.  That is one thing I haven't ever become a fan of.

UNT INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY

Posted by Brenna Travis    |    July 2, 2018

This project will be a milti-use facility designed primarily for football with an ancillary use for track & field, soccer, and other uses. The facility will be an efficient retangular shape, approximately 196′ wide X 426′ long with a minimum clearance height of 55′ for place kicking. The Indoor Practice Facility wll be a pre-engineered barrel beam steel structure that houses a full artificial turf practice field with eighteen (18) runoff space on all sides. Within this runoff space are three (3) sprint lanes and a sand pit on the Eastern side of practice field. Ancillary spaces include entry lobby and restroom, recruiting lounge, kitchenette, restrooms, A/V, telecom, electrical rooms, stairs, and camera platforms, fire protection/sprinkler system, and tempered by full HVAC systems. The facility will be located south of the Athletic Center, constructed over one of the existing grass practice fields.

For reference the bottom of Jerrytron at AT&T stadium is 90'.  Actual punting may not work inside...

Putting up the R this morning. And to put the size in perspective, there are people in this lifts if you zoom in.

I think (assuming here) I know why embedding links is so hard for some of y’all: are you pursuing twitter through the mobile browser, and not the actual twitter app?
