Posting this up because I'm tired of the foot dragging by the UAA.
They are tearing down the south endzone in March for an expected opening in late August 2019 (before the season starts). They are spending $98 million!! It looks sharp too.
At the rate we're going, we won't have new facilities until 2020 at the earliest - and that's if they start it next calendar year. So, Mullen is forced to show drawings/pictures to recruits. "Hey, if you come here you'll have this nice facility when you're a senior!"

The project, which will cost $98 million, will provide state-of-the-art training facilities for Missouri, while also adding premium seating opportunities and game-day enhancements for fans. It was approved by the university’s board of curators in August.
The project is not expected to be completed until August 2019, according to the website, which will also be providing updates throughout the demolition of the current structure and construction of the new one.
“This project would not be possible without the generosity of our donors, and we are very grateful for their support of Mizzou,” Missouri chancellor Alexander Cartwright said in a statement at the time the project was announced. “As an SEC institution, this project will allow us to remain competitive in the top athletic conference in the country. Athletics continues to be one avenue that brings our campus together and to inform people across the nation about the quality of education and the opportunities that are available to students who choose to make MU their academic home.”
