Weight room is sick! And I see they have chains at the stations. Good to know they got someone who knows a thing or two about lifting.

Being able to do some of the electrical on the building was indeed a pleasure, and an experience that I will never forget. It definitely made it easier to wake up in the morning and go to work.

I see too much black and brown in the training facility. Apparently the designer,and anyone that let it happen, isn't a true fan and definitely isn't #VFL.

It's a awesome place but it's not 100% finish just yet.

Those pics only showed a small part of the entire building too.

I'm sure they chose black seats with the power T in the meeting rooms simply because it would be a nightmare to try and keep white seats clean and looking good all the time.

Do NOT read anything into our colors or traditions changing no matter how much some may like black and Orange.

IMO I'd like to see more white and Orange and power T's all over that building.

I'd sure love to walk all through that building and see everything in person.

Now we just need to start adding more top recruits every year to work in that building and that will make it look even better but it's going to take a few years and more Wins to get the best recruits attention and i'm sure that CBJ and staff know that and are working on it.

VFL...GBO!!!

No I don't. Check out their facility. It's several years old now and freaking amazing. :(

where are all the graphics on the walls, the power t on the ceiling of the hydrotherapy room, if this is close to finished it looks a little diffrent than the virtual tour video they put out. still amazing though

I wonder if our facilities being so pretty has anything to do with our team, subconciously, not being mentally and physically tough over the past few years. Too pampered. Then we don't know how to respond when it gets tough.

Just a random rant. Kindof a Rocky going back to Apollo's gym to train type deal.

I just Google'd Best university athletic facilities and read several articles. No mention of Tennessee anywhere. I think we have nice facilities, but we probably do not understand the true nature of what we are up against with regard to recruiting the best players and coaches. We are good, but I suspect we think we are bigger/better/more respected/more famous than we really are. This is more evidence that Tennessee fans, while wonderful in many respects, are often considered deluded.

Heck, ESPN put us at #3 in the SEC.

Tennessee didn't even make the top-20 in this list, although several other SEC schools did:

And this, frankly, is why we should be careful about getting what we wish for:

I think all that needs to be said is that even if your number 1 this year you wont be next. Tennessee may have nice facilities, but so does almost everyone else.
