To have a training facility on the lake front will be a rare feat that few teams in the nation can claim. This building could become the biggest recruiting tool football coach Pat Fitzgerald will have at his disposal.
Construction is to begin immediately following the ground breaking. The price tag for this lakefront beauty is projected at $225 million.
