Having top-tier facilities help show your program as a brand. If your football team has elite facilities with massive weight rooms, a modern and luxurious locker room, and more, it indicates that the university and its boosters are serious about spending money on athletics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-football-locks-in-pair-official-visitors-june\/\">Michigan State<\/a>&#8216;s new &#8220;Tom Izzo&#8221; football building is going to be a massive upgrade and we just got a sneak peek of it today.<\/p>\n<p>Darien Harris, MSU&#8217;s director of player relations and program advancement, and wide receiver Tre Mosley led a virtual tour. While the building is still under construction, this was an opportunity for fans to see a video of the inside of the construction zone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brick by brick ???<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/darienAharris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@darienAharris<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tremosley_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Tremosley_<\/a> take us behind the scenes of the state-of-the-art 65,000-sq-foot Tom Izzo addition and renovation to the Football Building. <\/p>\n<p>FULL TOUR | <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cejVdccRAl\">https:\/\/t.co\/cejVdccRAl<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RELENTLESS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RELENTLESS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g39gFcrHo0\">pic.twitter.com\/g39gFcrHo0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Michigan State Football (@MSU_Football) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MSU_Football\/status\/1656709398838886412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s inside the new football building?<\/h3>\n<p>The new $78 million dollar &#8220;Tom Izzo Football Building&#8221; has a lot in store. The building is 65,000 square feet and looks like something straight out of the future.<\/p>\n<p>The new building will include a brand new upgraded state-of-the-art locker room. Inside there will be 126 total lockers &#8212; 120 of those are for current players, and six lockers are left over for former Michigan State players to use when they&#8217;re in town.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the crown jewel of the building is the magnificent weight room. It&#8217;s broken up across two floors. The first floor houses the &#8220;sports science&#8221; part of the training area. This will include various strength and conditioning tools like cardio equipment, plyo boxes, a sprint ramp, and more.<\/p>\n<p>On the second floor is your traditional weight room. Just a lot bigger than normal. This level will house all lifting and weight equipment including an astounding 28 power racks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, an important aspect of being an athlete is the recovery. The brand-new building will house a 35&#215;8 hot\/cold recovery pool. There also is a player&#8217;s lounge with games like foosball and pop-a-shot, as well as TVs. This offers the players a nice play to relax and recuperate, and bond with their teammates.<\/p>\n<p>The building also has something to offer future Spartans: the recruiting corridor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recruiting is the lifeblood of any program, and the recruiting corridor is an opportunity for Michigan State to create a WOW moment that will impress young recruits. This will be the flashiest space in the entire building with high-impact materials and a feature stair visible from the lobby,&#8221; writes The Spartan Fund.<\/p>\n<p>The building is expected to be substantially completed by the fall, and it can&#8217;t get here soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This building is going to be beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":3949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[191,189],"class_list":["post-3945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
