I agree and that's why I said I was so happy Miami agreed. According to many, Richt laid out terms or "mutual agreement" that he had to have more money for staff and an IPF to adequately compete in today's landscape. He basically put them on the spot to determine if Miami was actually and finally committed to winning and they answered.Although I’m sure Richt has played a integral role in improving alumni relations, you cannot discount the the effect the change in person who writes the checks has had. Richt didn’t authorize richt’s salary, Frenk did. Frenk gave a lecture to all the sections of the freshman marketing classes about the university’s marketing strategy and in his words “being from Mexico I had never watched an American football game until I came to UM, but even from an outsiders prospective its importance within American culture makes it the greatest marketing tool for universities across the country.” Frenk was instrumental in pushing for game day and paying more for Richt. I think that shouldn’t be ignored given what we came from. Ie shalalalallalalal
I think it all started with Adidas, though. Without that massive deal, we might not have the money to pay Richt what he's worth.Richt changed everything. I hate to reference the SEC but he brought us up to match their level, as he would put it "within the rules" and I believe it was a requirement by him to take the job. I'm just thankful Miami agreed and I think it's no coincidence this all happened after Shalala left
No. It’s 70 yds (90 including end zones) They didn’t want to lose any of the outside fields where they will be 95% of the time.
he asked about width not length. I don't see how it wouldn't be regulation width. That plays into alignment too much. I'm sure it's legit.
If I read his post correctly, ‘68 must be talking about sideline to sideline, rather than length.
If not, then it’s typical @Canes1968 dry snitching/bltching about something that even the most casual followers of the program have known for a long long time, that the indoor fields were not going to be regulation length but about 20 to 30 yards short, which is more than enough. Look at other IPFs, many don’t have 100 yard field with additional zones. It’s for practice, not the to play an actual game. You can get the same things done as outside...it’s for practice
But you already knew this, so did he, @Canes1968 is a sly troll.
He posted a few posts above that it is regulation width.I didn't look regulation width in some of the first pictures I saw with the field turf going in, but I saw a new pic today where it did in fact look regulation width. Was just looking for confirmation.
My apologies. Yes it’s regulation width & 70 yds in length plus 10 yds for each end zone.

So we have more field space than any other IPF but will get ridiculed for having a funny looking abbreviated main field that everyone sees #OnlyAtTheU
true. do not think kids are not going to come here because the big field inside the multi-field IPF is less than 100 yards. that is what ignorant fools talk about.Most likely, but who cares. That's just fan talk. Will be nothing but positive from a recruiting perspective and that's all that matters.
Richt did say we have the widest IPF he's seen with 7 yards between the sidelines to the walls, for safety.
Lol, like a Coke can! Mat drills in the morning?I'm pretty wide myself and I always hit the walls.
