Hey Hoosier fans. Rutgers fan coming in peace.
Stumbled upon this stadium renovation project and it looks great. Seems that the Big Ten has its own facilities arm race going on -- which I guess is what happens when you hand people parking lots full of money.
So what does this current renovation bring and what's in the plans for years to come?
We just re-did our football weight room (few mil private funding), built a very basic indoor baseball practice facility and a very nice football practice complex (8.5 mil private funding). A multi sport complex is getting started next year as well.
Lots of improvements but we still have some major areas of improvement in this never ending race.
This is a good detailed explaination:

We enclosed our north end zone in 2009, and added a hall of champions, a new 25,000 square-foot weight room, a new football complex/offices, offices for the athletic department, and a new 20,000 square-foot academic center under the east stands:
The current south end zone project on the other side of the stadium will be completed next July. It goes into more detail/renderings in the link I provided at the top of my post, but the main focus will be a new sport science facility, a new nutrition/dining hall for the athletes, a new health/rehabilitation center, a new career services/counseling center, a new club area for fans, and a rooftop terrace for fans.
A new videoboard was added in the north end zone for this year, and a larger videoboard will be added to the south end zone next summer. The older concessions/restrooms in the stadium, along with the press box and stadium club, will be renovated to be up to ADA standards. More ADA seating will also be added to the west and east stands. It will also allow for the football locker room to be expanded and renovated, and for a new football players lounge to be built...
