    I took a 6er of this to arizona with me recently for a excusion on Lake Powell.   The crew I was with loved it and thought that the green Texas flag was cool.   They had no idea it actually meant something and now they have a new fave Texas beer and Texas school.

    Lake Powell is my favorite place on earth. I grew up in Flagstaff and spent many weekends on the lake!

    Can't talk about college track facilities without mentioning Hayward Field, paid for by Nike of course.

    I like the way UNC has their setup at Fetzer Field. The Carolina blue track surface is a nice touch.

    I'm gonna say right now that someone needs to get Wren's ear about us getting a green track. 
    Baylor just got one at the new Clyde Hart Track & Field Stadium.

    The combined press box idea is exactly what Kansas just did at their new Rock Chalk Park. Awesome execution there. (Yeah its a rendering, sorry)

    University of South Florida has a pretty nice place at USF Track and Field Stadium. Used to be their soccer field too until 2011.

    The Mike Long Track at Florida State is nice too, nestled there in the pine trees.OWUFYGRTXHTOTDO.20140629085612.jpeg

     

     

     

    And now, what I think it's probably one of the nicest soccer/track venues in the NCAA.

    If we even tried to copy this for our new place, I wouldn't be mad.

    Northern Arizona University's Lumberjack Stadium in Flagstaff. This is a Big Sky Conference facility y'all. FCS.

    It was their football stadium until 1977, then served as track only and then started hosting women's soccer in 1997. In 2011 it was renovated as a part of their newly built $100 million Health and Learning Center which they built on the land right next to the stadium, which had been a parking lot. The glass walls and flying roof overhangs are part of the Health and Learning Center building behind it. It seats 1,000.

    Now, can you imagine something like that, but with a green track, green chair back seats and greenish glass that matches Apogee brickwork that matches the Hurley? 

     

    I can.

     

    I grew up in Flagstaff and went to football games with my dad at that stadium. It sure has changed. I'd love this look at North Texas!

  3. EVERY college and NFL team loses coaches in the off-season. If we were able to find a coach as good as him, we should be able to find another one. Plus, sometimes it is good to change up your training methods and work out with new and different techniques. Maybe our next strength coach can even get Dajon to work out hard. Lol.
