Unveiling a new or upgraded indoor facility is a necessity across the SEC, and South Carolina is doing its part to keep up with its closest rivals.

The Gamecocks on Wednesday unveiled to the media the new football operations center, which is expected to be finished by December. The 110,000 square foot facility is expected to have a 20,000 square foot weight room, which is three times the size of the current room.

The amenities include more than 300 televisions, a player lounge with video game area, a 15-seat movie theater with reclining seats, a video arcade, a sound studio with equipment provided by musician Darius Rucker and a barber shop.

There’s also a 4,000-square-foot cardio balcony overlooking the weight room, coaches offices, meeting rooms, staff offices, multiple nutrition stations, a dining room and balcony and training room with hot tub, cold tub and Swim-Ex rehabilitation pool.

Coach Will Muschamp said during the event that the building is a game-changer for the program.

The entryway to the building will feature a 20-foot tall ‘C’ logo, touchscreen video boards and a presentation area for George Rogers’ Heisman Trophy. That’s open free to the public year-round during business hours.
