For BC sports fans that have been following the "arms race" of facility upgrades going on in college sports around the country, Monday’s announcement by Brad Bates unveiling plans for a new athletics field house (AKA Football Practice Facility), new baseball field and new softball fans was a much needed shot in the arm of positive news. The announcement couldn’t have had better timing after BC was embarrassed on ESPN’s College Game Day over the weekend for being in danger of going winless in football and basketball in ACC play.
If the BC administration can get a quick approval of the field house from the BOT and the city of Boston then it shouldn’t take more than a year from that time to have the facility fully operational.
