The D also checks in on the college's indoor practice facility under construction with quotes from Big Green quarterback Derek Kyler HERE. From the story:
(T)he 70,000-square-foot facility will feature a meeting room, two video filming platforms, a satellite sports medicine space, batting tunnels for baseball and softball and dividing netting similar to that in Leverone. In a previous interview with The Dartmouth, (deputy director of athletics and recreation Bo Ceplikas) said he is hoping to accelerate the timeline to get the new facility open for as much of winter as possible.The FieldTurf surface will cover 75 yards plus an end zone at one end of the building.
