Texas Tech has called a news conference Friday at which school officials will reveal detailed plans for its future Sports Performance Center that will include an indoor practice facility for football.
Tech will build the facility for an age-old reason: Because everybody else has one. Tech’s the only school in the Big 12 without such an indoor workout venue and has been for a while.
Athletic director Kirby Hocutt has said the cost will run about $45 million for the combo project: an indoor workout facility for the football program and an adjoining complex for the track and field teams at the south end of Jones Stadium.
