“Are you suggesting we only have one field to practice on”

Dual vs multiple. You might have multiple fields in disparate locations. But to have dual fields to allow the full team to practice in one location is a different matter. This is the driving force in the practice facility concept.

quote:
Still, Smart has made it clear that Georgia football is still not up to par with other SEC schools when it comes to field space, which makes for less efficiency at practice. There are indications that football will one day take over the current track area, which could benefit from an overhaul and new stadium facility. “There are a lot of things we continue to talk about,” Smart said on his coaches show last season. “One of the toughest is field space — we’re not able to operate on side-by-side fields. Right now, we’re the only team in the SEC that has that (situation).”

We have two outdoor fields, they’re just end to end (not side by side)

It clearly doesn’t ultimately matter (recent results and all) but Kirby is angling to either 1. Get the outdoor track moved so he has room to expand or 2. Get the HoKe Smith Annex demoed for the same reason. Track wants a new facility but local politics have been holding it up (I.e. the rich blue hairs in nearby 5 points who like to use the track to walk and jog) and the Hoke Smith Annex was almost on the chopping block as a possible site when we built the IPF

Side by side fields would be nice but it’s just a smokescreen for what Kirby really wants which are options to add on in the future
