The only thing I've seen in the documents is synthetic turf.

I would imagine it’s the same field turf to be consistent

This facility will be a big advantage for a lot of other programs like soccer etc who can now train in it too

The original mock ups did have numerous ceiling fans. They're not done from what I understand, so maybe those will be put in soon.

Did they really name it the Bro Field? And I think its a bit much to label that a "Field" looks like a grass basketball court

Thats a great analogy for it

Got to love all those coaches in the video really selling it up like you can run all these really really short plays and its right here and you can do like light speed work, etc. You cant even run a 40 yard Dash on it. No way you can run plays on it at all unless you want guys running into that Cement wall...maybe put some padding on it.

Why did they put the football marks on it, makes it look way worse. Like what happened to the rest of the field.

ASU never fails to disappoint

I mean and then naming it after two different people, what did they each donate $100 towards it. And one of the guys who donated to it last name is Bro

I mean you cant make this stuff up

We lost our webcam finally :( Sure was cool watching that building go up from a dirt lot to what they've created, a monster building which will hopefully build a monster football team.

Damn, that is so much nicer than the blimp hangar/trash bag in Tempe. Really nice job and it should elevate our recruiting for sure

I was thinking the same thing. It's nice that it doesn't deflate if you have two doors open at the same time.

I wish it had "Bear Down" painted on top of it
