Very nice facility. Hopefully this will make a difference with the recruits.

one of the big doors 
But really, the offensive and defensive drills is what I miss... the year we did that was the most fun I had at the Ladies Clinic. Other than it being 100 degrees - which is why it never happened again. But now that shouldn't be a problem!

watching the video of the inside practice facility. I'm sure that will be part of the clinic this year. I can't wait! It is always so much fun!

fun. It has changed alot since the first years in Jervy Gym, attendance was about 300-500 those first few years. The bigger crowds are great for Clemson football, but with it, the "groups" have gotten larger and you lose a little bit of the intimacy of the early years. But, still, a great day & tons of fun!
I would like to see them split groups into something like "Football 101" "Football 102", etc.... I'd like to learn more specifics on plays than they go into in the little time we have. It would be nice to be able to sign up for a more advanced class - when you go so many years in a row, you kind of hear the same "football" info.

That ceiling looks to be about 75 ft tall. Take a look at the doors, they look to be about 5 yards by 4 yards tall. Looks like the ceiling is about 6 doors tall, or 75 feet. The average punt in the NFL is 4.6 (couldn't find college). That would be about 85 feet of kick height. Sounds like they cut it close assuming the kicker can put it right down the center every time.....Gonna be a lot of kickers shooting for the rafters. So unless they wanted pigeons goal tending the football, they should have made it just a little higher.
So the question is, have you ever been a football punted in the air? It goes very very high. You have to have been one to truly realize how high it goes.
(sponsored by the "glass half empty and someone must have spilled the other half" crowd)
Anyway. Looks nice to me.

Wife and oldest daughter plan on attending the event in July. Lady next to us in the stands told my wife she HAD to go, plus it's a charity fund raiser for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Seems to be a fantastic opportunity for all involved.

I am sure I am ignant, and it is a great looking facility

but college football is, for the most part, played outdoors so should it not be practiced outdoors as well.
I know that those lightning strikes coming off Lake Hartwell can be a disruption but is this facility really worth the $$$.

a year due to weather. Now, they won't. I'd say that's a pretty good investment.

You are "ignant". This facility is crucial to what we want to accomplish. Along with any other facilities we may build. Your views of sports are from the 60s. It is a new world of college sports. You either get "all in" or shut the doors.

I'm guessing that the peak of the rafters is ~90 feet...
Jan 27, 2013, 9:22 AM
|
|
...any other thoughts?
Dabo said that he thought Pinion could hit the lights, but the lights are not in the center of the peak.
Dabo felt that they could punt and simulate special teams scenarios.
