It’s going to be exciting to see our players gaining multiple pounds of muscle per day once this new facility is up and running. They are going to eat big and get big with our shiny new football complex.

I’m confident about that as well.wbtfg wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 7:50 amHave faith, Gary. I’m confident ground will be broken by gold rush.

Random thoughts.
At least the east-side stands will look good for the first time in awhile.
I hope they order an extra "bubble" for the temp gym structures.
