Hi, your Miami Dolphins are building an indoor practice bubble in their practice facility and their website will show you the progress on building it. http://www.miamidolphins.com/timelapse/timelapse_index.asp?lid=timelapse
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The Miami Dolphins have begun construction on their indoor practice facility, which is being built on the west side of the existing training facility building in Davie. Stiles Corporation of Ft. Lauderdale is the general contractor.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Dol-Fans can watch the building of the indoor facility through time-lapse photography. The video will be updated every Wednesday and Friday at 1:00 p.m. (ET) thoughout the construction process.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The 96,600 square-foot structure is scheduled to be completed in July, coinciding with the opening of Dolphins training camp. Numerous team practices in recent years had been cancelled, shortened or rescheduled because of inclement weather. The facility will allow the team to move indoors when such conditions arise and will also provide a respite from South Florida’s heat and humidity when the team chooses.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The facility, which will contain a regulation football field, also should help the Dolphins from a competitive standpoint as it will allow for closer game simulation during practice, especially in days approaching road games. The facility will feature FieldTurf, which could be utilized in weeks leading up to games at stadiums with the same or similar surface. It also allows for climate control as well as simulating potential crowd noise.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The Dolphins also plan to utilize the facility for much more than practice as it will be an integral part of the organization’s youth and community initiatives, as well as other fan-friendly events.[/SIZE][/FONT]
