UPDATED 8:48 p.m. For the Bucs fans who think rainy practice days can harm their favorite football team, this exclusive JoeBucsFan.com post is for you.

Yesterday at the NFL Owners Meetings, held at the swanky, posh Arizona Biltmore resort in Phoenix, Joe was inhaling free cucumber-infused water in the lobby — whose dumb idea was that? — and learned many things.

One thing Joe learned was that the long-awaited, Jameis-desired, much-anticipated indoor practice facility to be built at One Buc Palace will be a reality in 2017.

The plan is in motion and it should be ready to be a factor this season.

Joe is scheduled to sit down with Team Glazer this afternoon to talk all things Bucs, and Joe will get more details.

Joe doesn’t care too much about indoor practicing, but it could be a great benefit, especially in a hurricane state — and especially for a head coach who is very focused on taking exceptional care of his players’ bodies.

UPDATED 8:48 p.m.: Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer tells Ira Kaufman the following on the indoor facility.

“All the planning’s done and the early work is being done right now. We’re hoping it gets done for this season, that’s the timetable,” Glazer said.

By training camp, Mr. Glazer?

“That would be aggressive. I’d like to under-promise and over-deliver. I think it’s going to be good for our team to get the players out of the heat Working in Florida, we have all different conditions — whether it’s the rain or the heat. To have at least somewhere to go when conditions are not favorable to practice — and the practices are so limited these days — it’s important to have. It’s just another tool to give our coaches and players everything they need.”
