Our new indoor practice facility is almost complete. It's important because it's next to the stadium (had to relocate some school of social work nerds) and will allow Texas to install natural grass at DKR.

Can you explain this? I know DKR had natural grass in the not-too-distant past.

I believe it's because the team practices on the field at DKR a certain percentage of the time. This new facility eliminates the need to ever do that.

What is the yellowish building beyond the north end zone? Why doesn't it have windows?

Yes the outside is semi ugly but the inside nice.

Should be ready by 2039

A&M baseball's new pitching lab and batting cages should be complete by the end of the year. No pictures other than construction

For Florida:

1. Renovation of The Swamp is primary focus. And taking a huge chunk of any funds available with the $1.45B price tag.

2. The football stadium currently houses admin offices and the non-revenue sports weight room. To compensate, there is a $30M renovation/expansion of the Lemerand Athletics Center.

3. Basketball practice facility renovation. Scope and price tag are still up in the air. After the national title, they went back to the drawing board to do something a little more significant than initial plans

Why do you have to put down other team's fans?

That's the swimming and diving center. Home to 17 men's swimming and diving championships and 7 women's championships.

We're in the beginning phases of overhauling K lot where BCTC is/was for an entertainment district next to the stadium.

We also just did a $3 mil weight room upgrade.
