All I know is that the tennis courts will be moved off-campus, & the current indoor practice facility will be used by our soccer & track/field teams.

Initially, I was a little uncomfortable with whatever that cyborg couple was supposed to be doing. Still not real sure what "looking up into spaghetti" person is doing. I guess it's all a big selfie station? I prefer to think it's a non-traditional carb loading area. But seriously, pretty awesome to see this thing coming to fruition. I was wondering that too.....maybe they are rolls of toilet paper they are looking up at. Like at Toomers corner. Glad to see this taking off. The one good thing about being late to the party on this is that we will now have the nicest one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnowItAll 28 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 8 hours ago, cptau said: Seems like they just built new football facilities Auburn has never had a football facility. They have a nice locker room, a newish weight room, and some nice things at JHS. But no football facility. The football team has to share their facility with all other sports. One of the few in the SEC without one. Bama, LSU, UGA, UT all kill us with facilities. This is why Gus gave several million of his own money to the project. He understood the importance and I am sure Harsin does too. Harsin complained to Boise St. in a very public way about their dedication to win. It's one reason he moved on. Kellen Moore (Boise's great QB) turned down the job the other day because he doesn't think Boise is committed enough. So, yes, it makes a HUGE difference to coaches. They know they can't win without stuff like this. Go check out Oregon and Clemson's facilities on Youtube. Look at what LSU has been doing. Look at Bama's facilities. Yeah, AU is behind.

Leftfield 2,715 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 52 minutes ago, AUBwins said: Agreed the outside continued with the same old aesthetic. Yep. I understand wanting to keep a fairly consistent aesthetic across campus, but to me that should mainly be the academic buildings. Something like this needs to stand out more. In my opinion, they should have gone for a similar style on the outside as they did with the locker room. Admittedly, it's tough to pull something like that off that will not look dated too soon, but as @bigbirdmentioned, it already looks dated.

BNATiger88 2 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Excellent design. Curious if any thought has been given to converting the current indoor practice facility to a top flight indoor track. Auburn is long overdue for such a facility and this is an opportune time.

Zeek 16,660 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm happy it's finally rolling. The outside could be a little more appealing compared to some of our competitors. From the model it doesn't look much different than building the campus already has. See Clemson's entrance for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by "see" I mean look at pictures because I'm pretty sure I'll never step foot in that building. Anyway, until then I'll just be glad they transposed the entire phrases instead of just "yield" and "conquer"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
