KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The University of Tennessee broke ground Friday on a $39 million football complex.
It will be attached to the Brenda Lawson Athletic Center and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2011.
The complex will include a new locker room, team lounge, equipment room, team and position meeting rooms, coaches offices, two-story weight room, mens training room and hydrotherapy room.
Former Volunteer quarterback Peyton Manning, now with the Indianapolis Colts, pledged $1 million toward the facility in September. Mannings donation put Tennessee at $30 million toward the facility, which allowed the school to break ground on the facility.
