AAC football facility upgrades
Hey guys. I'm putting together info on football facility upgrades for AAC teams in the past five years for an article I'm going to do down the road. I've compiled a pretty big list already.
Can you guys post what upgrades in football your schools have received lately to make sure I don't miss any? It needs to be in the last five years. If possible, please provide links.
Thanks for the help and info.

Houston
2013 - As part of the Metro light rail project on Scott Street, the City of Houston encroached on two UH football
practice fields. Metro paid for two new fields by August 1, 2013 (in time for fall camp).
While they were building the fields, UH paid for one of the fields to be converted to an artificial surface.
2014 - $128M TDECU Stadium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDECU_Stadium
2018 - Planned opening of a $25M indoor practice facility, which includes covering the current artificial practice
field as well as a football-only weight room, nutrition center, lockers, etc.

RE: AAC football facility upgrades
I dont know how many millions spent specifically on Memphis football facilities over the last 5 years but it includes:
new weight room
renovated locker room and team meeting rooms
new dressing for football lobby and recruiting lounge
new turf practice field
$12 million phase 1 Liberty Bowl Stadium improvement project including Tiger Lane, exterior stadium illumination, new visitors locker room, renovated home locker room, new media interview area and recruiting reception room
phase 2 Liberty Bowl Stadium improvements including new upgraded field lighting package, 2 new video screen scoreboards, new turf field, updated fan concourse amenities including the 50 yard line lounge and luxury box remodeling and complete painting and watersealing
new $17 million Indoor Practice facility including 120 yard field, new players lounge, athletic cafeteria, coaches offices, recruiting lounge
pretty sure I'm leaving something out. its been a LOT of money laid out since Tommy West got fired
