In the elements the IPF protects them from. I think you live in SLC right? If so,you should know the answer. Cold, shitty weather and for excessive heat in August. If you are trying to button up your playbook or polish your gameplan for a bowl game in say late Dec or early January, a IPF is a must in SLC. All college football kids want to be treated like rock stars with bells and whistles and creature comforts. Top level recruits from warm weather areas in Texas, Florida, AZ and SoCal aren't going to come if your pitch is, F-you we practice outside all the time you little shit. If you have a problem with it, go watch the movie Rudy. BTW, Utah only uses their IPF for extreme conditions, most practices are outside.

In the elements the IPF protects them from. 1. Privacy surrounding what goes on and controlling who can enter the facility and watch practice, etc. 2. Practice time is precious time, given that teams only have "X" amount of time for each practice. It's easier to maximize practice time when you're not having to contend with a downpour of rain or heavy snowstorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is precious for student athletes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I think the stadium holds 28k now. Kudos to the SEC for having loyalty for the little guy. Sure as shit could've used that in the Benedict Fucking Arnold Pac-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
