Here's Oregon's new plan: https://around.uoregon.edu/content/university-releases-plans-future-indoor-practice-facility.

Also, I was also just in Austin. They have a nice outdoor practice field plus a really shabby looking bubble, at least it looks shabby from the outside. Here's a link: https://texassports.com/sports/2013/7/24/facilities_0724133511. Yuck.

Any others of note? How do you feel ours will stack up?

Most IPFs I've been in are nothing more than a metal building with some garage doors. They don't have to be fancy. Sometimes they are connected to nice meeting/locker facilities, but the IPF itself is fairly simple.

Oregon has unlimited money so it's like comparing New York City to Brookings. But our IPF will be near the top of G5 facilities. The practice facility is big, the panels are translucent to let in light, and the attached phase 2 building will have a weight room that will be up to 12,000 square feet, which is bigger than the SHAC weight room. It's gonna be awesome and the cost will be $50 million as much as the SHAC was.

The only thing I think they need to do is pour a shell for a basement because the next facilities war will be for things like fancy player lounges. We're kind of land locked so not utilizing space is a dumb decision
