NU to unveil $150 million football facility plan Friday

I know they're behind and the entire thing won't be online for a while, but last I heard Trev said that all of the necessities for the football team would be ready by camp. Is that true, are the weight room and locker room and recovery areas open and running?

They are not yet.  That was the story at one time but it didn't turn out that way.

 

A couple of weeks ago the HOL guys were pretty skeptical that they'd even be in there by the first game.  But they said a couple of days ago that a lot of progress has been made in the last couple of weeks.

 

So I don't think there has been any formal move-in date set.  But the thinking is they may be able to move in by game week.  Though, as I type this, I guess that could still have meant by the first home game.

Ed Wier running track moved to a new outdoor track.  Just north of Bob Devaney Center.  I believe the old State Fair property.

32,000-square-foot weight room and a locker room three times the size of the current one.

Yep. Innovation Campus is the name of the old state fairgrounds area. https://innovate.unl.edu/about

All that just to attract 18 year old kids to come play for us.

So, are they starting to use the new locker rooms now?

It would appear as such.

I agree, but unfortunately we are not the target audience.  And by all appearances, the target audience loves it.
