The Board of Regents gave approval to move forward with the design phase of a $20 million indoor practice facility for football on Thursday.
The facility will be constructed behind the TDECU Stadium Parking Garage and next to the stadium. The space is occupied by a surface parking lot.
“An indoor practice facility will continue to provide the best possible tools for our program to recruit and compete at a national level,” Vice President for Athletics Hunter Yurachek said in a news release. “We are thankful that Dr. Khator and our Board of Regents value this facility’s importance for our program, and more importantly, for our student-athlete experience.
