A new strength center was needed for about the past 30 years, glad to see them finally getting the indoor facility up and about running...
GO TECH !

Looking good. How big will the indoor practice facility be? Where is Tennessee coming up with all this money? ;) You guys have this beautiful facility and Tennessee State is in the process of building their own indoor practice facility.

The Redhawks are going to continue to use a modified basketball court for a weight room.. it's a dandy!

TECH's weight room had previously been in the third floor of the football stadium and waaaay too small - entire team could never work out at the same time. TSU got their money from "activity fees," and state money, or so I heard. TTU did it all on donations - but, it's been in the works for (at least) over 5 years. They wanted to have all of the money in place first, before building it. RUMOR has it that one very nice donation last year came from a certain brother of a certain Head Coach we have who recently came into a lot of money. *Hint*

I think the indoor field is only 50 yards long, but, it may not even be that big.

I don't know. The team looked pretty strong to me a couple weeks ago.

Thanks...but a 5-6 this year - I'm hoping this helps recruiting AND overall strength/conditioning to get TTU to being competitive ALL year long.
