Tennessee new Football only Training Center is 145,000 square feet. The existing Neyland Thompson Sports Center which houses the indoor practice facility is 120,000 square feet.

Is 265,000 square feet less than 137,600 square feet?

"Completed in 1989 at a cost of $11 million, the 120,000-square-foot, two-level structure is named in memory of former Vols head football coach and athletics director General Robert R. Neyland (1926-1962) and Knoxville businessman B. Ray Thompson.

The main level of the facility features a new 120-yard AstroTurf Gameday Grass 3DH field, provided by Dalton (Ga.)-based AstroTurf, LCC. The new field, installed in October 2010, simulates the feel and performance of real grass and also includes details like the checkerboard end zones and Power T at midfield."

So wait, 80,00 square feet plus 57,600 square feet (assuming your IPF is 120 yards) is ~137,600 sq feet. That's still less than Tennessee 145,000 square feet which still isn't counting the IPF. Giggles.



Giggles forgot about the primary athletics banquet hall attached to the IPF itself -- as well as the primary space being greater than that of a 120 yard football field due to the combined usage with baseball as well. It's 68,000 SQ FT + 9500 SQ FT banquet facility.

80,000 + 77,500 = 157,500.

157,500 > 145,000. Any more questions, Giggles?


So, you are seriously trying to include PAST facilities in the discussion about current facilities?

You don't even know jack shite about your own new facility, obviously -- since the new IPF is built RIGHT into it and it's blatantly obvious if you bother even looking at a picture of it.

Not too bad. Looks a lot like Bentonville High School's Complex. Did you buy the used plans from them?

Congrats, you spent $45 million for what ultimately amounts to 25,000 additional square feet...

Tennessee:

Neyland Thompson Sports Center = 120,000 square
feet

Brand new Football Training Facility = 145,000 square feet (this adjoins and not part of the existing center doofus)

Total square feet = 265,000 square feet


Moo U:

80,000 (new) + 77,500 (IPF, banquet hall which is existing - side note, it's funny you got mad because I included existing space and then you went and included it yourself) = 157,500

Yours is MUCH smaller.

Mullen's philosophy is that IPFs are for pussies (See Ole Miss Nutt era).

When we start playing all our games in domes then we will get a IPF.

This is all new except for the beige building in the back which is part of the existing 120,000 square feet Neyland Thompson Center. To continues up on the right hand side as well :)

So, basically -- you built the exact same thing directly in front of an old version -- at a cost of $45 million for a few thousand extra square feet -- and expect us to count both of them? Hey boys, we should probably count the Sanderson, Templeton, Shira, etc... as our football facilities -- since that's the essentially what this UT Tard is trying to do.

Upon completion of the project, the existing football space in the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center will be renovated to accommodate the approximately 110 athletic department employees currently housed in Stokely Athletics Center. Stokely must be vacated by December 2012.


From Your Own Website you semi-functioning moron.

But that's our football building too!!1!1!111

Let's start adding up all our former football facilities boys, surely we can count them toward the total! 2 IPFs? PSHHHH...


Um...it was all renovate in 2009 with new turf in 2010 :)

Is that considered "old"?

WOW!

It's impressive state built that with so little cost. Our renovations of our IPF are half of what it took to build that brand new facility
