Boston College opens its new $52.6M Indoor Practice Facility!

This will be one of the most advanced facilities in all of college football. It will include:
120 yard field that will have the excact same turf as Alumni Stadium
A 31ft.W x 18ft.H video board (only one of two in the ACC).
Cameras in end zones and mid field that will record practiices and be able to instantly display replays on the video board.
Outdoor practice football fields that will have the same video set up.
12,000 square ft. strength and conditioning center (twice as large as the one it is replacing in the Yawkey Center).

The facility will be ready for summer FB practice on August 3rd. (The plywood in the photos will be covered by an extensive padding system.

The existing weight room in the Yawkey Center (FB Building) will be converted to other uses for the team.

All of the major facilities - 44,500 seat Alumni Stadium; 8,600 seat Conte Forum (for BB and hockey); the Yawkey Center (FB Building); and now the Fish Field House - are all physically interconnected.

Finally, the old inflatable "Bubble" will still be utilized in the winter months (covering the Alumni Stadium field). Suffice to say, BC will now have some of the most extensive indoor facilities in the Country.

This has been a busy time at BC for sports related construction. The new baseball and softball complex was finished this Spring and the new 240,000 square foot student recreation center will be completed next summer. Next on the horizon - a new BB practice facility!

100% true!! The Conference is only as good as all of its teams are!

Yes. A few years ago I felt that BC administration wasn't trying their best to succeed in football, but that is certainly not a concern any more! Looking forward to some more classic VT/BC slugfests...

Which ACC schools still lack an indoor practice facility for football?

That's really pretty impressive. I'm impressed they were able to pull that together.

With the completion of new facilities this year at BC, UNC and Miami, I believe that everyone will now have one.

Next will be lazy rivers and putt-putt golf courses.
