WATCH: Let a drone take you on a tour of Ole Miss football’s new-and-improved Manning Center
Ole Miss this week finally re-opened the doors to the new-and-improved Manning Center — the multi-use indoor facility of Rebel football.
On Friday the Rebels provided a much-anticipated peak inside.
Ole Miss Sports Production unveiled the Manning Center’s many new features with a drone tour. Among the revamped amenities is a completely overhauled weight room, as well as a face-lifted team locker room and coaches offices.
“It’s the real deal,” Rebel tight end Caden Prieskorn said Thursday, in an exclusive interview with the Ole Miss Spirit. Prieskorn transferred in from Memphis in the off-season.
“I was getting treatment for the first time in the new training room and it’s awesome — just the space, the tables, the cold tubs. Just how nice it is, it looks awesome. Memphis, for a non-Power 5 school, their facilities are really good. But you’re on the biggest stage here (at Ole Miss).

“It’s something I wanted to be a part of.”
Athletics director Keith Carter previously told the Spirit the project would ultimately come in around $45 million. The square footage of the building itself has grown from 181,500 to 221,000.
“It’s so awesome,” Denson Hollis, the Chief Development Officer/Associate A.D. for Development at the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation (OMAF), previously told the Ole Miss Spirit. “ICM (Construction) has done a great job with that building. It’s going to be a real difference-maker for the Ole Miss football program.”
