The Auburn Tigers have wanted a new football facility for a few years now, and it seems as if that may finally become a reality.
On Wednesday afternoon, Auburn president Steven Leath announced via Twitter that a working group would begin exploring the possibility of a new facility.
As you can see in the series of tweets below, Leath said the group will be led by Auburn COO Ron Burgess and consist of other important people on campus:

It seems like it’s still early in the process, but this is something that probably needs to be done for the Tigers to stay competitive.
Athletes are drawn to schools with top facilities, so if Auburn can keep pace with other big programs, it will help with recruiting.
