Indoor Practice Facilities & Preparing for a dome game

[GusFrerotte]

I don't think that it would really matter. Practicing outdoors for an indoor environment might actually be beneficial in that you are practicing in worse conditions than in an environment controlled dome. If the guys are practicing in say 20 degree weather all week and end up playing in a 70 degree dome, they will love it. The elements also makes the guys tougher. Look at what is going to happen to Indy when they have to play in Foxboro for the AFC title game. Those dome boys are going to freeze their asses off and get spanked again. Also, what are there? Only 4 dome team in the entire league now? Why spend a ton of $$$$$$$$$$ to get ready for 4 teams you might only play once every 3-4 years. The only way an indoor facility would be beneficial is in the offseason or preseason during rainouts, etc.

Snyder spends a ton of $$ on everything. It wouldn't have to be the sickest indoor facility around, but having the option to practice indoors may help at times. Many teams around the league have and indoor field, or at least a facility they can outsource for such purposes. This offense hasn't exactly been a juggernaut the past 4 seasons. It couldn't hurt.

I believe there is a facility in the Leesburg area that they have used in the past.
