Update on construction....

Correct. On track to be open for '25 season.

No idea yet. As of this past April they were still conducting the feasibility study on what needed/could be done. It isn't fully funded yet either.

As far as the ending of the Stockstill era (from reading this board) I think it’s fair to say most die-hard fans think it was overdue.

However, IMO it says a lot that even during that time people were still willing to open their wallets for these pretty amazing upgrades. The future is bright. Especially if CDM can put a good product on the field in year one, which I think he will.

Update on construction....

We've been told it is phase 3. The loading dock move for Murphy is underway and will be done by the time the SAPC is finished. Then Murphy will be renovated with luxury boxes, football offices/locker rooms removed, new main entrance beside the SAPC, etc. Unless someone donates for it in full making $ earmarked just for an IPF, we are easily 5yrs from it between Muprhy construction and fundraising. It will just be prefab metal with HVAC and some brick, but will wind up costing way more by waiting. Still no confirmation on if the track is being moved there from Murphy with some seating.

I don't agree with doing Murphy first, but they have their reasons.

SAPC is estimated to be complete this time next year. Correct?

What’s the timeline on Murphy completion?

Update on construction....

What are the odds of an indoor practice facility ever getting built?

(Or is that something they are even discussing?)

FOOTBALL Fall Camp, 2024

This was awesome!

I hope they have some of that merch available for the opener. My wallet's going to take a beating if so. I want that "MIDDLE TENNESSEE" black block hat that Mason's had on.
You and me both! I want some of the Boro Built/Middle Made merch as well.

MTSUGear (Lightning's) is lacking for Nike or other name brand and Alumni Hall has more urange and tristar stuff than anything. Sideline/coach gear should be available every year.

UNIVERSITY NEWS Trustees Meeting Set for August 20

FOOTBALL Fall Camp, 2024

As a young man who started school here in the fall of 1980 can definitely say Chip's stats about the size of MT & Murfreesboro in 1981 are dead on. Tremendous change in the 'Boro & university in these past +40 years.
When I moved with my family here from McMinnville in summer of '69 Murfreesboro was only about 23k. What is stranger McMinnville in all these years is still almost same identical population, & has hardly changed at all.
