I don't think anyone ever really considered weather to big of a problem here, even though we've had plenty of practices effected. The Florida schools and NFL teams are just getting around to building these things


I guess they felt the players could suck it up and practice in the rain and heat/humidity. Outside of hurricanes, that's all UF has to deal with.

Though, with all the health precautions that are being taken now I bet it was the heat that ultimately got the facility built.

Lightning is the big problem, especially in Florida. Can't practice at UF if lightning is within 8 miles.

They practice in the rain it's the lightning that halts practice and unfortunately Central Florida is the lightning capital of the US.

We had a kid named Eraste Autin, a freshman fullback back in 2000 or 2001 that died froma heat stroke. I am surprised the damn thing wasnt built then.
