Takes me back to the old two-a-day pre-season practices in August in Tennessee. 95+ degree temperature, 98% humidity but hardly a cloud in the sky. You would look at the sky, spot one lone cloud, and PRAY that at some point during the practice, it might cover the sun for a few seconds. To make matters worse, back then coaches believed in "water discipline" - limit your water intake until AFTER practice, because otherwise you will just throw it up!

Under those conditions, the rocky bare ground they called our practice field was the least of our concerns. But what we wouldn't have given for an indoor, air-conditioned practice facility!!!!!

Being in Ohio, is the facility "Hi" in the middle and round on both ends?

Massillon High School has long been known as a football hotbed with rabid local support. Getting their own 80,000 sq. ft. training facility doesn't surprise me too much.

Football players don't need to study English. They speak it good.
