They didn’t open up the locker rooms or any of the upstairs rooms or offices. But the part that we did get to see was beautiful! 😊 Your pictures are terrific. We spent more time in line than in the facility. We were shocked at how crowded Auburn is today.

Systems 177 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Meh - nice looking but not particularly original; kind of looking like the Delta Sky Lounge at the Atlanta Airport. I would've encouraged a more atrium-like, open air look and feel. And the locker room floor plan looking like an Arc-Reactor diagram is curious. The barber shop is a nice touch but 1 chair for 85 scholarship athletes plus coaches at 30 minutes per cut is 45 hours per week cutting hair in that chair - get a broom. But really - it's a nice facility I'm sure the players will love to enjoy. #WDE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,865 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Outstanding. Now let our play meet the standards of this facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 942 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Is it true that Alabama's Football Performance Facility cost 288 million? Ours cost 92 millon? Not a troll, honest question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a troll, honest question. No. They did not build a “football only” facility, they did massive renovations to the Mal Moore Athletic Facility and built the new weight rooms/training center (Bill Battle APC). Pretty sure that $288k number included BDS renovations, new dining hall, etc. Their facility is also not “football only” like Auburn’s will be, as Auburn’s is for ONLY football. While Bama’s is “primarily” football, other sports use their weight room and training rooms and the AD is housed in the Mal Moore facility in a separate wing. Still very nice, just not exactly “football only”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle 3,914 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Looks great. I can’t tell the difference between any of these state of the art facilities these colleges have now. But it’s still cool to see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 What a fantastic looking place for the AU football players to train. They were REALLY excited too. All the wall bling isn't up yet so a couple of the long hallways might look a little sterile at the moment but what a great looking facility. Auburn did this up right.

RunInRed 16,426 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Got to tour it … In general, I like most of it, but that round huddle room they have with big recliners / bean bags is really strange. There are two white pool tables with LED lights on back order. But you can have 8 or 10 guys there. Not 85. The coolest part by far was the big area with four projectors where we can have our scout team line up in an opponents set and then send someone in motion. Those projectors can show in life size the actual offensive set. That allows our defense to make real time adjustments instead or just watching it on a TV and making notes. It’s impressive. I don’t think anyone else has that. All the coaches offices were locked; No furniture. Actual locker room felt small to me. Weight room has a nice feel. Open. Airy. Lots of light. Just my $0.02. Any one else tour it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, exactly. The athletes who will tote the rock for AU in 10 years are currently in 3rd grade. So, yes, I assume some upgrades are coming in 10 years or so.

Systems 177 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Pardon if already asked and answered: is there a virtual, 3D walk-around, like an open house I might tour from a remote location? That would be nice, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
