That looks great.  I love the purple border all the way around.

BUt what is it? won't you think of the children? how about a hint?

I thought I already said what it was. Full 100 field in a large field house.  NOT a bubble. No idea when they are suppose to start though or even if it is real.  I have to ask my whiserping birdies...

I like the idea of no numbers.  I mean, isn't that kinda how Wyland sees the field anyway? "1st down handoff to Woodell, runs around end for about an 8 yard gain."  Lower third of the screen reads 2nd and 9.

Perhaps, the placement of the yardage numbers will occur just before the 1st home football game, lol ... making for some interesting preseason football practices.

One of my birdies whispered in my ear.  FH is not gonna be right away - huge $$ involved and they are working on funding. May be some help coming though.  The governor was on campus the other day and toured the athletic facilities and asked why the University in the capitol city did not have better facilities for student athletes.  She said she would look into helping finance such facilities!

Whatever happened to Chobani Field House???😉

Also, wasn't there a rumor a few years ago about some sort of deal/lease arrangement with Afrim's putting up a facility on UA campus???? Maybe I just dreamt this one; but the Chobani appeared to have substance at one time?
