We've talked plenty about the new Commonwealth Stadium, but the progress on the new football training center deserves a mention too.

That big flat patch of dirt will be training fields and a good portion of the wall that faces it will be glass garage-style doors the staff can open during good weather. This facility will be HUGE for the future of the program. I'd go as far to argue it will have just as big an impact as the renovations to the stadium.
