The University of Georgia has completed the $80 million expansion of its football training facility, and the results are luxurious.
The school previously spent $90 million upgrading its stadium and practice facilities in 2017 and 2018.
Some of the new amenities include a modern and sleek locker room, a private players' lounge, equipment room, plunge pool, and nutrition bar.
The defending champions hope the new Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall will help them recruit and keep top players.
Take a tour of the facility below.
The project, which includes a 29,000-square-foot renovation and nearly 140,000-square-feet of expansion, cost $80 million, with half of that coming from the football budget and the other half from private gifts.University of Georgia Bulldogs Football Facility
