08.29.08 ASU WILL BE PRACTICING OUTSIDE
Pictured above is what’s left of Arizona State’s indoor practice facility after a flash storm with 75-mph winds tore through the Phoenix area last night. By all reports, pieces of the newly opened, $8.4 million bubble dome were thrown across campus.
Russell Schilt, a 22-year-old ASU student, said he walked about the school’s practice facility to see the bubble roof in shreds from the storm. Schilt said he was surprised at the damage the new building took.
“The bubble dome had complete deflated,” he said.
No one was hurt, [AD] Brand said. The 103,500-square-foot facility was just completed this month…. It [was] a bubble of fabric supported by air pressure, the ASU official said.
Man what an asshole storm. Who knew that a desert could have such harsh, unforgiving weather?

ASU WILL BE PRACTICING OUTSIDE
After all that hard work the ASU cheerleaders put into inflating it…
Now they practice in a jumping castle.
Where are all the poor elephants and clowns going to live now?
Oh, the humanity
It’s suppose to be below 100 degrees all weekend - back to the outdoors
Maybe Arizona has Chuck E. Cheese’s like we have in Ohio. You know, the ones we wear our sweater-vest-tee-shirts to. It’s about the same mentality.
I just feel bad for COBRA. Now they have nowhere to base their terror operations.
is that a typo or is the quoted ASU student really that dumb? oh, wait…
I heard stadium inflation is a major at ASU, Here at Florida State it’s merely a offered minor
On the upside this happened to ASU, on the downside, well there isn’t one. Fuck ASU.
