Actually Cuse's 2nd indoor facilty (after the Dome)

This is temporary for the FB team as there should be a new SOA FB indor facioty within 5 years.

Not mentioned in the video but they fund-raising for it.

Looks nice Mark. What look like stands threw me off until I saw the track around the edge. Is this facility meant to be for indoor track?

Yes they put a 3 lane running track around the field...Manley Field House was originally built for the FB team as the first indoor practice facility in the country. It was then converted to a basketball arena, indoor T+F, etc...now they ripped out all the seating save the permanent concrete seating attached to a wall. Probably around 600 seats. The field is about 90 yards long in length. Enough to get the job done. They plan to build a full size 120 yard indoor practice faciltiy then Manley will be used by the Lacrosse, softball teams.
