Back in December, 247Sports listed Kentucky's facilities as the 15th-best among all college football teams in the nation.
Today, the Wildcats jumped two spots, coming in at No. 13 overall in the popular media outlet's latest facility rankings.
"See what funneling more money into football brings to the Bluegrass?" 247Sports said in their justification of UK's ranking. "Kentucky might be considered a basketball school, but the Wildcats’ $45 million upgrade to its football training facility in 2016 totaled 100,000 square feet and proves the administration believes in Mark Stoops and his steps toward the future. It paid off in 2018 as the Wildcats won nine games and earned a New Year's Day bowl berth. Every player’s locker is ventilated with a cell phone charger, lock box and cup holders. For a cool price tag of $120 million, renovated Commonwealth Stadium saw its first fans in 2017 and initial reviews have been extremely positive."

The Wildcats also finished ahead of the likes of Notre Dame, Auburn, USC, Florida State, and Florida, among others.
