Jerry Jones, CBP and Jeff Long are all about making Arkansas state of the Art. (No matter your thoughts on Jerry... who builds nice shite~)

Yeah its going to be incredible, but that is par for the course in the SEC. Arkansas' expanded facility is underway right now, too.
A big part of ours, the lockerrooms, etc is going to be underground, kind of a "cave" for the team.
Interior renderings of the underground part
The terraced part in the foreground is actually the roof of the training rooms, lockerrooms, etc. The Indoor pavilion already exists:
And we're putting new fields on top of underground parking. We love putting shite underground due to the topography:
Progress so far...

Arkansas facility should be finished by start of 2012 season.
I think you mean 2013.
They just broke ground on it the other day. So far the biggest progress is on the lot behind the Pavillion that they are converting into a garage and raised fields. I bet those fields are finished first, and might be ready for Spring Ball in 2013. Posted on 1/28/12 at 12:30 pm to wmr
Its sick... and It wont stop there. I think JJ is one reason why we will keep CBP for a long time. CBP loves being in cohorts with JJ and Jeff Long is all about structural expansion.
They are already looking at new facility to centralize all of the athletics... and additionaly 4-5000 suite-type-seat stadium expansion.
All we need is for JJ to build us a jumbo-tron.

yeah... I guess 2013. I was reading an article somewhere about how they raised the funds in just under a year (expected it to take two years) and that construction could be expediated to just over a year... and most of it be functionally ready before 2012 season.
I dont have a link, it was just a random article I read a while back on its progress.

Peyton Manning Locker Room Complex
Yes, and don't forget the Peyton Manning Locker Room. I recall that Manning has made a million dollar donation each year for a few years so I am sure other areas will bear his name in the future.

I despise Jerry Jones, but he's loyal to his school and I respect that. These facilities would wow everyone from other conferences, but in the SEC, you have to have these ridiculously nice facilities just to keep up
Congrats Tenn and Hogs, those look nice. Love the underground concept of the Hogs.
