Written almost a decade ago! I agree with you Rob on Hayden Fry and it’s long overdue.

I knew it wasn't a unique idea when writing.

It's a no-brainer.

Not disagreeing with you at all, but is the fact that there's already a football training facility (or whatever it is) named for him keeping them from doing it?

It is a no Brainer!! I shared only because I was just surprised it was written almost a decade ago.

I could be having a holiday brain cramp, but I’m not aware of a football facility named in his honor.

Good stuff, Rob! Have a great Holiday season!

Hayden Fry Field at Kinnick Stadium sounds great and will be great. Fry started 41 years of players growing, graduating in large numbers, competing in excellent fashion, and also representing The state and UI in great fashion. And Hayden led the way

According to this (and my memory), the football facilities collectively known as The Hayden Fry Football Complex.

Interesting. I’m not sure if that is current. The new facility with the indoor practice field, coaches offices, etc., is called the Hansen Football Performance Center.

The bubble is no more.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not from the area and am not familiar with the facilities, so I only know what I read or can find online. It was the only reason I can think of that this hasn't been done yet.

I vaguely remember the old complex being named after Hayden. I wonder if UI is working on a corporate sponsor for the field.
