Is that the "Multi-Level Thunderdome of Power" that Jim Rome was prattling on about yesterday?

 

[ssckelley]

dang, I put this in the wrong section.

But yeah, idk how much money this facility costs but it would be awesome to have at Iowa.

The on site pharmacy is kind of alarming though.

 

[goiahawks]

That is insane! I wonder what it costs?!

 

[tksirius]

Isn't this basically what Iowa will have soon?

walter payton trains in sand hill.

Our new football facility is going to be what...half as big as that? Crazy.

 

[ssckelley]

Wait, Iowa's new practice facility is going to be close to this? Are there any virtual tours posted yet?

If I am a recruit tours like that would blow me away.

Not to mention that fans can get to games and tailgate by boat too!

pretty sleek facility, the athletic dept must have the full backing of the university prez and regents.

Wow is all I can say. (How funny would Iowa's mega facility look with no crystal footballs)

 

[hawkeye2011]

Did you happen to see were they have an MMA cage included in facility:

You'll love this - New facility at Tennessee has a MMA Cage

A little odd.

Good lord..

I agree. Are they going to have football players having matches? I can't imagine that would go over well if there was an injury or something.

But geesh, that thing is crazy!

It'll probably hurt recruiting a ton..

 

[SmokeTownHawk]

Wow! Welcome to the $EC boys. Wonder if this will touch off an arms race of sorts?

 

[VAHawkFan]

The best part of the schematic is the elevated practice field with the goal post right at the edge of the dropoff.

"Fore!!"

145,000 sq feet. The new Iowa Practice Facility will be 111,500 sq feet. Will they still have the Jacobson Building, if so it would encompass more square footage at 111,500 + 35,000 = 146,500

EDIT: It looks like the Jacobson Building will be used for gymnastics. so it will be 111,500 compared to Tennessee's 145,000

It would be nice if there were virtual tours like Tennessee has. If Iowa is going to have anywhere near as nice of a facility then they need to show it off.

 

[HawkinGoferLand]

there were more HD TVs in the tour video than all the sports bars combined in the Knoxville!
