The Football Performance Center will be built at the location of the old Hutsell Track located at the corner of West Samford and Biggio Drive. It will include a 138,100 square foot football operations building, a 95,300 square foot indoor practice facility and two natural turf practice fields.

The football ops building will include a weight room, locker room, sports medicine and nutrition, team meeting rooms, football administration, equipment, and laundry.

It has a number of player amenities including a lounge, barbershop, two recording studios and a flight simulator.

The project will be financed by University bonds with the debt service to be paid by Athletics Department Funds.
