I don't get why the training facilities are the big deal. We just opened our 100,000 square foot training facility in 2008. Are all the comments about Mizzou's facilities being shitty because because the training facility is not football exclusive or am I missing something else?


From ESPN LINK

1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. Tennessee: Not only has Neyland Stadium gotten a multi-million dollar facelift over the past few years, but the Vols are set to move into a new $45 million football facility this fall. The Vols already had an indoor practice facility, and their new digs will include everything from a mixed martial arts fighting cage, to a restaurant, to cell phone recharging stations in the players’ dressing cubicles in the locker room.
4. Georgia
5. Auburn
6. Florida
7. Arkansas
8. Ole Miss
9. Mississippi State
10. Missouri: A $16 million expansion and renovation project opens this summer. The new facility will measure more than 100,000 square feet, almost doubling the space in the Tigers’ old facility. The locker room will have eight 30-inch plasma high-definition televisions throughout the room.
11. Texas A&M
12. South Carolina
13. Kentucky
14. Vanderbilt

Simple math?
45 million @ Vols > 16 Million @ Tigers

ESPN needs to do their homework. The 16 million happened in 2008 when the new facility doubled in size to 100,000.

It's been renovated and updated since, but portions are still not football exclusive. Even the indoor football practice fields are used for baseball in the offseason.
