ESPN Ranks Big Ten Football Facilities

NORTH END ZONE FACILITY

OHIO STATE“The Buckeyes have the total package, from a massive, iconic stadium to a stand-alone, football-only facility (Woody Hayes Athletic Center) that includes offices, meeting rooms, a weight room and memorabilia displays. They renovated their outdoor practice fields and have a decent indoor facility. Ohio State has plenty to show off for recruits.”

NEBRASKA

“Multiple Big Ten coaches and

officials have told me how impressed they were

with Nebraska's facilities

after visiting in Lincoln last year. A massive weight room is the highlight, but the coaches' offices, meeting rooms and locker room aren't too

shabby. I love how everything is so well connected at

Nebraska -- stadium to football HQ to practice facilities -- and the East stadium expansion will be another nice upgrade.”

“THAT LINE OF BLUE”

“It's a close call between Michigan and Penn State, but Michigan's recent upgrades to both its stadium and its indoor practice facility give it a slight edge. The Al Glick Field House might be the best indoor practice facility in the country, the weight room is impressive and the Big House upgrades have been a big hit. Schembechler Hall is the only minor drawback, but a renovation is coming.”

NORTH END ZONE FACILITY

Penn StatePSU has a similar setup to Ohio State, with a massive stadium and a separate, first-rate, football-only facility. The Lasch Building boasts all the amenities players need (including a massive lounge), and a revamped weight room is already a big hit with Bill O'Brien's crew. Beaver Stadium has some pluses and minuses, but Penn State's Monday-Friday facilities are terrific.

Michigan State

“The Skandalaris Football Center took Michigan State from the second tier to the first tier, plain and simple. It's an excellent facility complete with large meeting rooms and coaches' offices, and a gorgeous lobby. The practice facilities are decent and while Spartan Stadium needs some upgrades, some are coming.”

Skandalaris Center

• Opened in 2008. • Since then, the Spartans have

compiled a 50-25 record (30-18 in the Big Ten)

• Claimed a share of the 2010 BIG Ten Championship.

• 2011 BIG Ten Legends Division Championship.

• Spartans have competed in six consecutive bowl games. (Including the last 2 victories against Georgia and TCU.)
