I know they have stayed at the Clarion (formally Holiday Inn) and have practiced at Ames Field in the past. If they are Will the practice open to the public?

I have no idea, but you might want to pratice correct spelling.

Outdated forum software. How about we upgrade to IP 3.0 instead, it supports IESpell http://www.iespell.com among other features, then nobody wold have any no excuses, this thing is so 2005.

Or use Firefox. Mine has a spellchecker built in.

I've put IESpell into my browser just to make Tim happy. I guarantee that there will me no more misspellings in my posts.

To tell the truth, I may have added on something to Firefox to add the spell check feature.

I'm just resisting the temptation to edit the thread title to correct the spelling.

Also I would imagine that they are using Ames again. They always do. I would call the ADs office at the high school for info.

You mean except for this one?

"Misspelling" might look wrong, but it isn't a misspelling.

True. But "be" is not spelled "me".

Lots of teams use Ames Field before they play Notre Dame. However, it is not a practice. Mostly it's used for running/stretching exercises and it is never open to the public. As a matter of fact, there is typically only one MCAS person allowed in the stadium while a team is there and that is usually a rep from the AD's office. Some teams also use Ames before they play Valpo, too. I've had the honor of playing "hostess" to a visiting team myself.

The reason the public is not allowed is because the visiting team (the one's who play the Irish) are worried about spies. Even though it is not a practice, one can still determine weaker or stronger players by watching them run and exercise. Some of the bigger names request a police presence as well--USC being one of them.

I guess that's understandable. Thanks for your insight.

I think the team had dinner at Hammer's (Johnson & 20) this evening, there was three Cardinal coach buses parked out front of that place about 5 PM this evening.

There was three buses?
