I'm seeing references (including some renderings) to a new indoor facility? Anyone have info? I'll see if I can grab a pic or two.

IT's Coming
This is overdue, especially for recruiting for football. Palmerio Center should be for baseball/softball only. Even with NIL playing such a big role, you can't tell me recruits don't compare IPF's to other SEC schools.
Facilities matter.
Demolish Dorman and put it there
Leach said we didn't need an IPF even though us and Vandy were the only two SEC schools that didn't have one. Glad we're finally getting this done.
Selmon for the win
Much needed! I think it will be really beneficial to the team.
I'm guessing that the players can get together and work out together indoors running pass routes and throwing to each in the offseason after working out. Which I would imagine would be much more preferable to do indoors rather than outside in 150 degree Mississippi heat.
Dan Mullen didn't think we needed one either.Quote:

Does anyone really think that Leach or Dan would have objected if MSU built one even after they said it wasn't needed? I doubt it.
Dorman is being renovated, will see fencing up soon.Quote:

Are we going to see LED lights at Scott Field this fall?

I, personally, think it's an absolute waste of money in the nil era and what's upcoming. But I don't get to decide.
Any chance the Bulldog Club could be sitting on funds and that's what is being utilized? Those funds can't be used for NIL and I imagine they still have a good amount of money coming into the BC (I personbally just do Bulldog Initiative but I have friends that only do Bulldog Club). If so, I'm glad those funds are being used.Quote:

Just curious, how many baseball teams have indoor practice fieldsQuote:
