Looks like Utah is getting a new IPF, if approved. 

We have one now that was built in 2004 but it lacks a few things. Two endzones, big enough sidelines for safety, you can't punt full power without hitting the ceiling, no climate control other than heat and massive ceiling fans. The biggest issue is, scheduling time. With all other sports using the current one, sometimes it get's too crowded and overlaps a lot.  The current one has a nice trophy room but I don't think it has proper sports med rooms or storage space.

The new one will cover all the needs and also include video boards. Before Meyer came to town in 2003 and demanded facility upgrades, athletes used to practice in the cold season in a make shift, shitty plastic bubble.

In the last 20 years, we've came a long ways in facilities. P5 money and needs has driven a lot of that. High roller boosters like @Chile_Ute will probably just write a check to pay for the whole thing on this new joint.

I watched some of this and was disappointed. There wasn't enough space or a long enough straight away for any real speed or good drama. It was nearly impossible to pass someone ahead of you

It's made for REAL cars???

I never understood Schools building IPF's when they play their games outdoors. In the elements the IPF protects them from.
