The arms race for college football facilities rages on, and the SEC boasts some of the finest in all the land.

Georgia is the only team in the league without a full-size indoor practice field, and that won’t be the case for much longer.

There are plenty of spectacular amenities around the SEC (we covered a few of them last year), but it’s the little things that can make a different to a football program.

Here are five such perks that make these program special:

ALABAMA’S WAVECAM SYSTEM

If you’ve watched a game on TV lately, you’ve seen the ever-present Skycam zipping around on wires above the action and offering a literal bird’s eye view.

Well, back in 2009, Alabama was on the leading edge of that technology when it installed a Wavecam system in its indoor practice facility.

With cameras fixed in the rafters, coaches had a unique perspective with which to break down film. As for the connection between Wavecam and SkyCam, the latter bought the former in 2013.

TEXAS A&M’S LOCKERS

If Oregon is the undisputed king of college football facilities, then Texas A&M would probably be its heir.

The improvements to the facilities in College Station are breathtaking in their size and scope, so it’s hard to zero in on just one thing. For someone who’s tech savvy, however, there is one thing that stands out.

Remember the days where a player was lucky to get a piece of masking tape with his last name scribbled on it over his locker? The Aggies have a more high-tech approach with digital nameplates for its players.

I bet Bear Bryant never imagined needing an IT guy to change a few lockers around.

SOUTH CAROLINA’S INDOOR PRACTICE FIELD

Part of the arms race we mentioned is an indoor football facility. This is a bigger deal in other parts of the country, but can be useful here in the South as well.

The Gamecocks (and Florida) opened a new indoor football facility recently, which will be named after Steve and Jeri Spurrier. The field itself is called Ken Wheat Field, in honor of the man who played for the 1969 ACC title winning team.

It’s also a place where student athletes can give back to the community:

OLE MISS’ GRILL AT 1810

So, it’s dinner time in Oxford and football players are shuffling into the dining hall located in the football facility. You might expect them to have the place to themselves, but that’s not how things work at Ole Miss.

The Grill at 1810, located, of course, at 1810 Manning Way, offers regular students the opportunity to “eat like an athlete.”

Menu options include fresh fish, a meat carving station, a salad bar, omelet stations and a host of other choices for students who want to bulk up, slim down or just partake in some fine Mississippi dining.

ARKANSAS’ COVERED PARKING SPACES

Having covered parking spaces sounds like a small thing, and when you compare it to hydrotherapy waterfalls, it probably is.

But the fact that the Fred W. Smith Football Center has 225 covered parking spaces is a nice finishing touch to an already impressive facility.

Fayetteville does get an average of 45 inches of rain and nine inches of snow every year, you know.
