big deal a lot of us did that with your girlfriend.
The list of teams in Nik's post was teams who have FieldTurf either in their stadium or on their practice fields, and in the case of the Broncos they have Field Turf at their Dove Valley facility, but Invesco has always been natural grass.
Ah, thanks for the explanation.
apparently you dated tg's mom too!

Look troll, I'm surprised someone who thinks they're so "genius" like you would be so incapable of understanding. It's an all-out arms race in college football. It's been that way for a dozen years now. It's about attracting recruits, and we're not going to get them with our facilities remaining in 1980 while everyone else is in 2020. Numerous programs throughout the sun-belt states have indoor practice facilities. If you can justify them there, you can certainly justify it in Colorado.
It would be lame.

I understand the need for having an indoor practice facility to attract recruits, but I have to laugh when I know what the Broncos use for their own indoor facility. It is just a bubble, and they share it with a bunch of other local teams including youth soccer (see South Suburban Sports Dome). Unless there is dangerous weather (thunderstorms, icy conditions, extreme cold) they man up and play at their outdoor facility, which really isn't that fancy either IMO.
Oh well, we are ruled by perception in all walks of life these days,,
I am happy to see a committment to the football program by the administration, improvements need to be made and many areas need to be updated. I am looking forward to seeing if they follow through with them (regardless of what the contracts say, I'm sure they have an out if they think they need it).

Apples to oranges.
I've actually hoped they would do this as well. And that way you can walk to the game. I've always stayed at the Omni, or some place out there - the drive/park situation is no fun.

Oh puuuulease! Since the AD can now sell-out CEC for the Woffords of the world, let's cut back revenues and increase the pain factor for fans by putting a game or two back in Balch, so you can have your "Way-back Machine" to hot-date night! How 'bout they bring back the old elevated, orange wooden court full of dead spots, too? It was a riot watching JoJo White steered by the Buffs' "D", over to a spot on the court where his dribble just died! And no time clock on the baskets, just that overhead Scoreboard clock no player could see. We could then re-live the fake count-down-at-half scam all over again. Remember when I got KU's Norm Cooke to launch one from about 40 ft. with 20 secs. on the clock, with the fake countdown? Even Creedon mentioned that in his column the next day.

Take a deep breath. Mick posted that comment almost 2 years ago....
It's not healthy to hold it in that long
I sense you are being sarcastic, but what you describe sounds AWESOME. Sign me up!

Is "center court" a euphemism?

I understand that it is apples to oranges, that was why I had the "perception" statement in there. The recruits need to be "wowed", even if some of the pretty stuff isn't truely necessary in order to compete. I've never heard a Bronco player complain about their bubble, but they are pros and don't need to be wowed by where they practice.
Point taken, and I can't wait to see those cranes fired up (with Joel Klatt tied and gagged up top).
CU is on record as saying there will be some sort of announcement in the spring. The ongoing feasibility study is due to be complete in January.
Sweet. And the players could all wear Chuck Taylors and short shorts . Don't we sell the Keg as it is right now?

Looks like they are required to have the plan completed by 12/1/2013 and a contract awarded by 11/1/2014.

Linking Henderson article, but it is mainly covering the facilities. I can't say that I am happy about what I am hearing. They are calling on folks to commit financially, which is fine, and I have more than doubled my financial commitment since last year. However, I still don't see what the vision is. What is being built? What do they want built? I may commit even more if they would provide more damn answers besides "open your wallet."

You are happy after reading that? I was totally bummed. I had fully expected that they were much further along with funding. Sounds like we have adopted the "Rammie Plan." :sad2:
