Each season, it seems like a few more schools are unveiling new indoor practice facilities, a refurbished locker room or something of the like.
Having top-notch facilities is not only a status symbol among the college football elite, but it is also a very important and powerful recruiting tool.
Recently, we took a virtual tour of some of the SEC’s locker rooms, and some of those videos provided a glimpse at the football facilities as a whole.
Not only were they extravagant, they were downright impressive.
So as we get ready to kick off the 2015 season, we decided to expand our search a little to include some of the football facilities outside of the SEC as well.
This isn’t a rankings list, or anything of that nature, because there really isn’t a good way to quantify how one of these football palaces is better than the other. This is simply a photo tour of some of the nation’s top football facilities.
So, although it is bound to happen, no one should be offended by the inclusion of one school or the exclusion of another. Can’t we all just get along?
