According to a tweet by @OurTwoBits, it appears the Florida Gators are on the verge of starting the process to add an indoor practice facility for the football team as the University Athletic Association is currently accepting bids for the construction project.

The addition of an indoor practice facility would be welcomed news for the Gators’ football program. Not only is Florida the lone SEC team without an indoor practice facility (other than Vanderbilt), but the Gators’ in-state rival Florida State Seminoles recently finished construction on a $15 million indoor facility.

With facilities around college football seeing major upgrades, a brand new indoor practice facility for the Gators would be a huge recruiting pitch moving forward. It also would certainly help when dealing with the summer weather in Gainesville, which is notorious for summer storms in the afternoon that constantly interfere with summer and fall practices.

Based off the proposal attached in the tweet above, the budget for the indoor practice facility would be $11.9 million and the proposed location for the facility would be directly north of McKethan Stadium (Florida’s baseball field).
