The reason they’re building a training center is because they’re turning the track that today is 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock to 12 to 6. So the track will be different, but I don’t know what configuration it will be. The last plan they publicly discussed was there would be dirt, synthetic, and turf. There was some concern that the turf course wouldn’t be wide enough for a fall turf meet like Laurel has every year.
