http://instagr.am/p/Ca0Aen0pgzN Random but would it ever be possible to get some kinda A&T fence tarp for that fence that runs alongside the highway? It’s something I see around practice facilities at other schools all the time and especially fields that are in the middle of campus (Carolina for example). In this case, ours is alongside a highway so it makes even more sense. It has a much more official look to it. Just a dark navy tarp over the fence with “NC A&T” or something I recall reading in the press that the football practice field was one of the areas that would see an upgrade in the coming years. I think the softball field is supposed to be moved and all that area on the side of stadium will be redeveloped with better practice field facilities as a priority. You are 100% correct. These items should be detailed within an updated facilities master plan later this year.

When was the last time a facilities master plan has been released?

When was the last time a facilities master plan has been released? 1. There's a first time for everything. 2. Just email one of our athletic administrators. 😇

I mean, if we've never done one before why are you confident they will release a facilities master plan later this year?
Where are you getting that from?

Westcoast do be knowing stuff. He told us a good 10 years ago we were looking at switching conferences.
I mean even if there is no hint of us releasing a facilities master plan, we're switching to one of the top FCS conferences in existence. We HAVE to have a facilities plan coming sooner rather than later.
Will that plan include a new football practice field I wonder.
Is practice taking place on the field or behind the field?

When was the last time a facilities master plan has been released? Very good question...I know this Master Plan "refresh" is several years old. Campus Master Plan Refresh

Been hearing a lot of praise from the coaches about this kid from Ohio. Hopefully he can replace Hunt

Wasn’t Yaeger’s dad also a QB in HS and/or college? 🤔 And Jay Walker is his mentor I think ELI is going to be better than all of them if you ask me. I realize he will be redshirted but he can play in a few games

honestly, "my gut" is telling me that hooker is gonna be a better prospect than the kid from minnesota. why do i feel that way? cuz hooker grew up in a "quarterback family". his dad and his older brother both played d1 football at the qb position as "starters". how can you not learn from that? i kinda see hooker the same way a lot of coaches saw "baby cam" (caylin newton) coming out of high school. over shadowed by his big brutha, but will open eyes at the fcs level. hooker is my "darkhorse" to be our starting qb in the coming years if we don't land a big time qb prospect... Well OldSchoolAggie this is where we part ways with QB. I think ELI is going to be our future starting QB maybe not this year but next year he will take the mantel and this will be his team to beat.

I think lots of items on that list will be taken care of eventually but maybe not fast enough for some folks. After being around A&T for over 50 years, I've leaned to be patient on everything but winning. I can wait patiently on the green grass, on the new band room, the upgrade of the chain length fence around Truist Stadium, your fence tarp along highway 29, new seating in Corbett Gym, and repairs to War Memorial Stadium. But I want to win now!

My suggestion is to email the AD about this, requesting they add a fence tarp to their plans of enhancing the practice field. 😇
I'm sure the coaches will love it as it'll help add a little privacy to the practice along with a bubble to go over the field in the winter.

But I want to win now! I agree, that’s why I proposed this because it’s something seemingly fast that makes a good impact. Getting all those other things is like pulling teeth but I was hoping that would be a quick fix just being that it would just be a fence covering. Not gonna act like I know how expensive one is though 😂

I appreciate this! I wanted us to get a bubble too after the Panthers did it...until I saw how much it cost them and I figured it probably would’ve been best to allocate those funds to the real thing at that point
