Yesterday was a big step for Purdue football, at least from a facilities standpoint. Morgan Burke announced that the Board of Trustees approved the football performance complex plan for $65 million. The badly needed renovation and expansion of the Mollenkopf will bring Purdue in line with the rest of the Big Ten when it comes to the locker room, weight room, and other amenities. Thanks to Drew Brees and four other football alumni more than $12 million has been raised toward the $65 million price tag.
Another exciting part of the plan was the announcement of the long delayed Phase II of the Ross-Ade Stadium renovation.
