UGA feels that way right now, too. New IPF, massive Science Learning Center in the middle of campus is close to being completed, and they're on phase 2 of building the massive Terry College compound right in the middle of the main intersection on campus. That doesn't even take into account all the construction going on with new buildings around downtown

Auburn has "been considering" a JHS renovation for years. And while other programs have completed or currently have construction underway, their AD tries to appease his fanbase by installing the worlds largest scoreboard.

We are. its the current design that is on the table, not much different than the last. they are trying to determine when, now

Auburn has a bunch of planned upgrades across the board for most every facility, that hasnt had one in a few years.


I tried to find the breakdown but cant seem to find it

Good to hear. Always had a great time in Tuscaloosa. I never understood the rivalry between college towns. Obviously i'm going to have a bias towards Knoxville because lived there, but if you're not having fun in any college town then you are doing something wrong. It's mostly about the people anyway

Hopefully yall add a few more gates to that north-east end. For the a&m game i barely made it in for kickoff cause there was 2 people scanning tickets for thousands. It was a mess.

New 48 acre Student housing development at Texas A&M

A&M athletics has completed a bunch of new projects. I think they will renovate the Softball stadium next and then Outdoor Track & Field among other projects.

1. Netum Steed Replacement Building (completed)
2A. New Softball Stadium w/ Indoor batting cages and Multipurpose indoor facility (now fundraising)
2B. New Track & Field Stadium (now fundraising)
2C. Existing Track to Remain as Warm-Up Area
3. New Indoor and Outdoor Tennis Facility
4. Renovated West Campus Training Room
5. Enhanced Soccer Stadium
6. Reed Arena Improvements
7. New Volleyball Arena
8. Multi-Purpose Field
9. Outdoor Training Area
10. Central Athletic Promenade

LINK

**This was all too much of a distraction for Kyle Allen and caused him to throw 3 pick sixes against Bama, so the administration might cancel it in the near-future.

That new student center looks amazing. Is there a rendering of it that gives us a look at what it looks from the outside?

It's technically a renovation but the expansion is so huge that it dwarfs what was saved from the old center. The link is an amazing video fly-through that shows exterior and interior details of the project.

Vaught-Hemingway now has real turf and the expansion is coming along nicely. Lighting, videoboard, and speaker system improvements will be installed before 2016 season. Plus new work on practice fields.
