TCU Indoor Facility Comes in Handy!

One of the unique things about Texas is that a thunderstorm can roll into town in a matter of minutes and can be gone just as quick. The last couple of days that's been the case and it's always a time that we sit back and are thankful we've got such great facilities here at TCU.

The first part is our field, which is so good that even in a torrential downpour we've got a pitch that you'd have no idea it's been raining. So with rain we've got no problem's with training, lightning on the other hand is one we don't mess with.

While we were on the field warming up yesterday at 6:00 PM our lightning siren went off, but instead of having to cancel practice or wait out the 30 minutes for an all clear we were able to continue practice indoors at the Sam Baugh Indoor Training Facility here at TCU by 6:15 PM. The set up is great with a full size field and goals that allows us to not have to miss a beat.

When I talk to other coaches around the country that are having to cancel training sessions because of weather, I definitely realize how lucky we are here at TCU.
