If you're talking about Mellencamp it's older than 10 years and there is nothing state-of-the-art about it. It's sad how bad it is. Most athletic teams don't want to use it. The ceiling is too low for kicking, punting, baseball, softball and many other problems

Dedicated in 1996.  Wow

If it's not serviceable for even an indoor baseball facility, I think with the "land lockedness" you gotta tear that structure down.

I just don't know where you put a new practice facility. 

Move indoor tennis?

I know baseball does some practices in Mellencamp, but apparently not true hitting, if the ceiling is too low.... idk. 

I would assume leveling Mellencamp is the move. The place is an eyesore and a piece of crap top to bottom. If that isn't an option...sacrifice the couple hundred parking spots directly west of the outdoor practice fields, put the new indoor either where those are now and send the fields west, or put the new indoor west of the practice fields.

Give Mellencamp to track and field. Ran track in college and Gladstein is probably only better than Purdue in the B1G. 

Honestly location is pretty primo.  I would agree with the comment earlier to tear it down and build a big boy one.  Need a temporary site probably for a year

Cignetti asked about the potential for snow Friday night: "I hope it snows a foot and a half. We have a Canadian quarterback. Did you see this guy throw the ball against Purdue?"

The only way this could be better is if he called them Purdon't

The domers are in fact wearing their regular home uniforms. Smart. Wearing black and gold in front of Cig is like waving a ribeye in front of a grizzly bear.
