Media Relations Press Release
January 24, 2013
The University of Alabama Athletics department has recently received board approval to begin construction of the Nick Saban Recruiting Complex to be completed in the fall of 2015. This 8.6 million dollar indoor-outdoor facility will be the first of its kind nationally and will be made available to all university men's and women's athletic teams. Still in the early stages of planning the facility will be a state of the art complex that will give potential student athletes a diverse array of activities while on their visit to Tuscaloosa. The complex will include the following:
*4 Paintball Courses
*Off-road BMX style Dune-Buggy Course
*4-Wheeler Nature Trail
*Indoor Laser Tag
*Indoor Arcade
*Go-Cart racing course
*Wave-Pool (surfing)
*Outdoor white-water rapids course
*Indoor rock-climbing wall
*Fishing Pond with cable-zip line jumping, canoeing and paddle-boats
*Ice-skating ring
*Indoor food court with Buffalo Wild Wings, Dreamland BBQ, 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, Brickhouse Pizzeria, Baskin Robbins, Chick-Fil-A, Krispy Kreme and Starbucks.
The Board quickly moved to pass the construction project due to the aggressive paint-balling recruiting tactics of the University of Georgia and Mississippi. Head Coach Nick Saban was said to have been pleased with the approval of the building project as the process of dominating all of college football continues.
(its a joke that is making the rounds on the boards, half the folks think its real)
I think the Vols, thanks to Hart, are once again beginning to assert themselves on the facilities front. Please donate to the Tennessee Fund.
