Spags: Plan is to replace all the practice fields

Debris has been cleared off one of the three practice fields (far east) while the flattened tension-structure still is sprawled out over the majority of the two other fields.

But because so much broken bits of glass are spread all over the three fields, the Cowboys veterans will be going over to Standridge Stadium in nearby Carrollton, Texas, for their twice-a-week on-field teaching sessions following their strength and conditioning workouts. They will use Standridge for their upcoming organized team activities (OTAs), scheduled to begin May 19 and last three days a week for four consecutive weeks.

Because of all the glass remaining on the fields, along with the little pieces of debris - even after vacuuming the fields - the Cowboys, for obvious safety reasons, are planning to till up the practice fields and start from scratch with brand new fields. And at some point soon, the debris from the tension structure will be carted away, but not until all the inspections have been completed.

So there is no telling how long they will continue to use Standridge Stadium for these off-season practice sessions. And should they need an indoor facility during the summer or the coming season, they will likely work out at Coppell High School, a place where they previously practiced indoors before completing construction on the tension-structure in 2004.
