I know the university has other facilities planned first but I would really like to see us get a standalone football operations/locker room/weight room building eventually.. most schools in the SEC have them. I know that's not enough reason alone to get one.. but it is A reason. I know the current football offices are at WillyB and so is the weight room.. those areas can be converted into spaces for fans/alumni/big time donors.

I'm pretty sure a standalone practice facility for basketball and adding more luxury suites at WB are the next big things planned for SC.

I read somewhere that Tanner wants to eventually add another upper deck and some more luxury suites at Carolina Stadium too. Probably another 2,000 seats.

Broke ground today on the new football only practice/training center. Will be attached to current Nutter Field House (First picture below).

The new $45 million training facility will be around 100,000 square feet, and will accommodate everything football related into one building. The $45 million cost on this facility is completely separate from the $120 million renovation of Commonwealth Stadium that is already underway and set to be completed before the beginning of this coming season.

***Commonwealth Stadium renovation information and progress can be found here:
