Pretty sad.

I wonder if you can set up a tailgate there? Would be nice place for the kids to run around on.



People can't tailgate on the field, but the University allows RVs to set up and tailgate in the band's parking lot every Friday night.

No, that was the football team.


Most people don't know this but our (the MDB's) field actually looks better than the fields the football team uses.





That's the indoor facility.






Thats the outdoor practice field.




And that's the one the band uses.

Yeah the football team doesn't need all the extra paint and stuff on the field, but its amazing that ours looks a lot better than theirs.

As an old LSU band guy, that would have been nice. I wonder how hot it would be in August marching on that artificial turf for 8 or more hours a day.



The field supposedly has a cooling system under it to keep the field (and the kids) from over heating. Not saying you're going to feel cool on a 96 degree day, but it could be a lot worse.

Are you in the band? And yeah that is an insanely nice practice field for anyone, much less a band.

I was, yeah, for 4 years. I never marched on the new field but I know about it.

When I was looking up the Bama's football's practice field I saw others like Auburn UT and FSU. I was amazed that the MDB's field actually looked as nice as theirs.
