On day -99

Those new practice fields will be the facility upgrades that bear the most immediate rewards in team performance. Being able to practice on fields that don't threaten the players with ankle and leg damage will be of great value. Also, not having to allow for time to move practices to Legion Field or BSC in bad weather will make FBHC Clark's practice scheduling simpler.

Does it match the drapes?

Sure does!

The yard marker numbers have gone down.....hopefully, the dragon-head goes on at midfield soon!

Are there any plans for a logo or branding on top of the pavilion?

I thought someone said there would not be a dragonhead or branding in the middle of the field due to cost. Same with the top of the pavilion and the other practice fields...

No logo on top at this time. We constructed a tower for Coach Clark instead of logos on top of the building

Only Dragonhead will be underneath the practice facility at this time

Wise choice. Logos on a steel roof wouldn't look good for very long under the Alabama sun anyway.

Maybe we can get a blaze version of the bat signal to light up the night sky.

Are there plans for canvas/tarp drop downs or will the sides be open regardless of the weather conditions?

That would be unbearably loud in the wind.

I see green, and hash marks....and numbers!

My first thought was who killed Dragonhead and why are they burying him underneath the practice facility Jimmy Hoffa style. Then I realized I don't think we have a poster named Dragonhead. Just dragonbreath and he is doing well I assume.

Do I see, on the live feed, something being laid out/added to the center of the field at the fifty yard line?

If you see a big, white roll...yes.

Oooh...letters!

Thanks for the alternate view!

I actually got it from a Twitter post...
