What's this?

I actually went to George Welsh's football camp in middle school

And we split time practicing in Scott Stadium and the fields behind University Hall. This was in 1987. I don't know whether the hoos have built an indoor practice facility, but if they haven't, UHall might have been a pretty good option, especially if they still practice behind UHall. The importance of having indoor and outdoor practice facilities adjacent to one another cannot be overstated.

Then again, the plan may be to demolish UHall to make room for a new indoor facility. Like I said, I have no idea where they practice now. I can only speak to the camp I attended 30 years ago.

EDIT: I see now there is an indoor facility adjacent to the practice fields at UHall, so there's that.
