Editor’s note: The Star is examining the state of Arizona football recruiting. Part 2: The importance of June 2021.
It’s mid-May, and the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility is under construction.
The third floor of the building, which houses the Arizona football offices, is being gutted. The weight room is empty and about to updated and upgraded. Change is afoot.
One could argue that it was simply time to renovate. LSFF turns 8 years old this summer. Facilities become outdated almost as quickly as they’re built in college athletics.
But there’s a specific reason LSFF is undergoing a makeover right now: It’s about to be open for business for the first time in almost 15 months.
