The new football complex is going to be amazing




I must admit, I have never been to Arkansas, which is why I asked.

I posted this on the Tiger Rant first, but wanted to get the opinions of the SEC Rant as well. For the record, Oregon seems to be getting the most love for the best facilities in the country.

It is happening. They say it will be better than what Oregon has.

It will include 2 practice facilities above the ground with a parking deck below them. It will sit where the current practice fields are now.

Of course, but that should not disqualify them from having the best facilities.

I just looked at their new baseball facility and it is pretty nice.

This is Oregon's new proposed basketball arena: LINK

As long as Phil Knight is around, Oregon will be a contender for the best facilities in the country, if they do not have them already.

I guess I am of the mindset that all state funded universities should be limited from received vast amounts of money from global corporations. They should instead rely on boosters and fan organizations to do that

Is that why you don't play every home football game on Campus?

What about Auburn? They have a nice baseball facility, brand new basketball, brand new indoor practice facility and their football stadium rivals anyone else's in the nation.

Arkansas has some nice facilities, but it is hard to say they have the best when the highest profile sport is played in a 70k stadium.

Having said that, Alabama's facilities are absolute shite compared to other programs except where it counts.

Also, question:

Where does most of Arkansas' athletic funding come from? Do the Walton's contribute a lot?
