I keep hearing about this new practice facility. Sorry for the ignorance, but where is this facility located? Blast away.

Keep in mind this was fellow poster detective work from when the facility was just a rumor, nothing official, but it's supposed to be here.

Not sure about size, but they are apparently spending to build it right. The supposed training facilities (training as in treatment) could be a huge selling point.

Wont Happen.


It is being built on the Saints facility property. The offices will be finished within the next few weeks. The practice facility will be done by this summer. It will be a first class facility.

No way your "friend" got more than 3 words out him mouth. Everything at the facility is currently free and catered. Amazing spread of options. Why on earth would they have a pay for it smoothie king when they can have a smoothie bar with everything smoothie king has without paying for the brand. Only possible way that could ever happen in my opinion is if it came in conjunction with a massive corporate sponsorship deal and even at that point it would be pure trade

FIFY...per Dell's chalk talk I went to. Dell said he designed it. Dell said the lab/training area inside would be first class as well; poster who commented on that was spot on with what Dell said in the chalk talk.

I drove by today. It's pretty much just a frame. If you're facing the Saints facility coming out of Zephyrs parking lot, it's to the right of the Saints where the road curves towards Airline.
