How will SMU's IPF, when built, compare to the best indoor facilities in college football?

Will it be among the 15 best? Among the 10 best? Among the 5 best?

What will be unique about our indoor facility?

The mysterious, mythical IPF. Should be #1 in the world x 3, if it lives up to the Ponyfans hype. Rumor has it, it's going to cost 1 BIIIIILLLLLION dollars! :P

I have never seen any details except that it's a gregorian brick building with a football field inside. In the end, that's all you need right?
They all seem the same to me based on original poster's url

It will be indoor and a practice field. What else really matters?

It's a legitimate question and I hope someone such as SMT responds.

If it was just an indoor practice facility, we could have funded one for $6M-$8M several years ago.

USC's was $70M and built 4 years ago.

For now, my high school has a better IPF than the Mustangs.

It is interesting that we talk way more about its cost than its features or amenities. I dont't care if it costs 50million or 500k as long as it serves its purpose.

The 100M one would have been pretty legit.

Yeah, that 'gregorian' brick is really expensive stuff!

I would love to see a line item cost sheet. Wouldn't surprise me if they pay $20/lb for dirt.

You don't know how expensive it is to grade a flat surface
