Question...so is this just for the football team since it's in the indoor facility? And will the weight room in Gentry remain in tact for the other sports? Assuming anyone knows.
Either way, this is nice! I like it.

Is this an add-on building at the indoor facility?

The facility is just over 50 yards. That means they took a portion of the that 50 yards to create that weight room.

Two or three weeks ago, there was Western Express Truck parked at Hale.
I thought it was strange to be there since the season was over.

The Western Express trailer is how they transport the football equipment now instead of the UHaul truck. Looks like it is going to be a permanent fixture for the team when they travel. Hopefully they get it wrapped before next season, like the AOB trailer.

The AOB have a nice trailer. Honestly, TSU should be placed in a Hall of Shame seated in the row of embrassment, for not having an adequate weight room. I wonder if they fail to realize all of the "small things" assist with recruiting in all sports.
If my memory is correctly, Cole, Reed, Webster and other past coaches "preached" about having a weight room and improving the training for the "Trainers"

Passed by the in-door facility a few days ago, coming in from Clarksville Pike there seems to be what looks like an attached structure, I can't find what I saw in these pictures tsutigers.com/facilities/indoor-practice-facility/3

I don't know for certain, but the plan was for it to be an extension. Do keep in mind that there are other rooms in the indoor facility that they could have converted without taking away space from the field area. If I recall, there are rooms along the front of the building. I remember there being at least two rooms that had tables and chairs in them.
120, I hear you, but none of the coaches you mentioned did anything to raise money to create a weight room. If they did they weren't successful at it. Eddie made it a priority to raise funds to create a new weight room for the football team. I really hope that we will not compare what was or was not done every single time something new is added to enhance the program. Can we just stop looking in the past and work on building for today, tomorrow and beyond. I really don't care anymore about what didn't get done under previous regimes. If TSU builds a new on campus stadium, is it important to rehash that other coaches wanted a new stadium? It really isn't. Let's just all support the program so that our teams and student athletes can have the best facilities period.

Regardless, of the "who, what, when and whereas" I just mention that previous coaches talked about the weight room.
Don't care if anyone gets upset, we have previously discussed this. Dr. Glover raise millions via AKA's and maybe corporate and private donations. And cannot "communicate" with the the alumni and various companies to raise funds for the university.
She is the President, thus the "Chief Fund Raider - Spokesman" for the university. Dr. Glover and Phillips, knew the needs of all sports programs.
Now, It's about time of the university administration to get of their lazy @zz and do something. It should not have taken Dr. Allen and EG to start something that should have been in place years ago.

Thanks for the update. This has been a long time coming and needed.
My guess the weight room attached to Gentry will be used for the other sports and maybe the student population.
