At Ole Miss the Gillom Center, where many of our women's sports are housed, has been renovated. What once was a duel indoor tennis/volleyball space with various sports locker rooms/offices has now been transformed into strictly a volleyball venue and a weight room. The new indoor tennis center is being built just down the road near the main athletics complex.

What will Ole Miss do now for an indoor tennis facilty? Wasn't the Gillom Center, with three indoor courts, the only indoor tennis facility available?

Finally, our new indoor tennis center is coming along strong. This is located south of Vaught-Hemingway next to our track and indoor football facility, The Manning Center.

Looks nice! How many indoor courts will it have? And will the outdoor courts be adjacent to it?

At UF, design work is wrapping up for the $60 million football complex with construction anticipated sometime in the fall/early winter. Ribbon boards are currently being installed in part of The Swamp.

We are in the hiring process for architects for both softball and baseball stadium renovations. These are both expected to go through design with a start date after next seasons.

At the O'Dome, UF bought the system that was used to produce the 3D Court projection prior to the UF-UK basketball game. Cost something like $25K to rent per game and was intended to be a one time thing, but due to its popularity they decided to purchase the technology for all sports in the O'Dome.

Ground has been broken on our shiny new baseball stadium.





Our new tennis facilities will be built where the Cliff was before.



Joe Craft Center, our basketball training facility, will also be getting an overhaul at only a little over ten years old.
