Football practice facility
I just wanted to let everyone know how amazing the practice facility is looking these days. I went by it today and holy cow! It looks like the outside of Memorial Stadium at least how it used to look before it became a space ship. This will definitely level the playing field against the buck nuts.

If you can imagine Yost Arena but bigger and under construction, you have a pretty good idea of what it looks like right now.
Walking by it, I often thought it looked bigger than Crisler. Thanks to the above link I've bothered to look it up.
104,000 square feet... Crisler, meanwhile, 97,260 square feet. Nice!

This site has a cool "floor plan" sketch if you can call it that...

It's pretty neat to see the actual structure though.

It really does look like yost but bigger. It looks really classic and amazing. I am in total awe. My brother said yesterday that the facility looks like it will be nice than what our home team Atlanta Falcons have. Honestly it will

There are stairs up to a balcony under the point of the roof, presumably for a nice overfield view of things. The architectural details are not as nice as Yost -- no little medallions, square windows instead of arched -- but considering it's a giant empty shoe box it could have been a lot uglier.
