$480 mil ? They didn't show you everything.
There is also a cafeteria, meeting rooms (team & position Rms) and recovery stations, hot & cold tubs, massage equipment, trainers. Others are more impressive.
Lol it also includes a stadium that houses 100k+ people vs Oregon’s that houses like 50k
Since 1935, the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City has awarded the Heisman Trophy to the most outstanding college player of the year. It can go to any player at any position. But it tends to got to Running Backs, Quarterbacks, and Receivers because they score the most points. There are other esteemed awards like the Outland Trophy which goes to the best college lineman. But this is the pinnacle award. The Heisman winner is usually a top three draft pick if not #1 and demands a high salary as a first year pro. You should check out a list of the Heisman trophy winners. They include many legends and even a few busts.
Texas A&M is infamously flush with cash but unable to put it together on the field
More locker room tours checkout Alabama,Lsu and Oregon Ducks
Definitely do more of these for different schools like LSU, Oregon etc!
The Ducks stadium has much nicer player ammenities because they are the alma mater of Phil Knight, Nike founder and he spared no expense in making their locker room the nicest in order to help recruitment.
Indeed..........
@@NIKE-cf3xl NIKE agrees... GO DUCKS!!!!
Can I get some free swag? please?
The big Power Schools put a lot into their locker rooms stadium etc. The main reason is to be competitive attracting recruits. When recruits are in high school they are rated by stars 1 star 5 stars etc. Big schools want as many 4 and 5 stars as possible.
Auburn just opened up a newly renovated facility this year. Not sure if there’s a video you could react to or not, but it’s top-notch.
Thanks JB. Had a look but can’t find one yet, only the reveal to the players. I’ll keep an eye out for one coming out!
@@DNReacts it’s ok. I’m having fun watching your reactions!
@@DNReacts when I got the notification I thought it was my high-school stadium suggestion. Don't forget to shout out the channel because I had some health issues bit I'm about to start posting content again.
I'm from Louisiana, deep south.
This is how humongous Texas is on a global scale.
ruclips.net/video/d36hspDVF0Y/видео.html
I’m fairly certain that the vast majority of that almost half billion dollars went into the actual stadium, and the rest probably went into a lot of technical upgrades and designs that you wouldn’t really notice unless you were looking for them.
I think a lot of it is just glitz for the sake of glitz and square footage. Academically Texas A&M is an excellent school Texas as a state in general put too much emphasis on athletics.
"Do you need all that?" To answer that simply is, yes. College football is a business, and it's cutthroat. The programs #1 priority is to win games, because it bring in more money, and better recruits. The more a program can appeal to a high school athlete or Junior College transfer, the more wins come, thus more income.
SEC is the powerhouse conference.Roll Tide 🤘🤘
Agree, but War Eagle! 😊

Oh dear a house divided! 😮

Rollllllllllllllllllll Tide
I love these college facility tour videos. You guys should definitely do more of these
LSU is in the SEC. Most teams in the SEC are very hard to beat.
Also LSU & Tex A&M are in the same division, the SEC west . The winner of SEC west plays the winner of the SEC East for the SEC championship.
Minus vandy, poor poor vandy.
@@A_Name_ Lol.. but those Commodores can sure throw a baseball ⚾️.
No only Bama and Georgia are hard to beat 😂
@@jamie-ou8xv Bama was easy to beat this year. LSU was hard to beat 2019.
Texas likes football. There are three $50-70 milllion High School stadiums within about 20 miles of each other in the suburbs north of Dallas.
College facilities are going to have a lot more fancy frill stuff than the NFL most of the time. The NFL is a work place, colleges recruit these kids and having all kinds of cool nonsense that would appeal to an 18 year olds and helps them get kids to go there. Obviously they want to play and play for a winner and have a chance at the NFL but the flash doesn't hurt if it is a close choice for the kid.
That locker room was very impressive. Years ago I attended a business event held at a large dining room atop Texas Stadium, the former home of the Dallas Cowboys before they built their new stadium. We got to go down on the field and walk around on the turf, and we went into the Dallas Cowboys' locker room and saw QB Troy Aikman's locker. It was nothing compared to this.
Because watching streaming game is so big these day ESPN made EVERY college add a million $ plus studio to their stadium.
In return ESPN pays each conferences from $3 - $45 mil per team/per yr . More popular the conferences the more $$ for their TV rights.
Should do a video on the Johnny Manziel highlights at Texas A&M and you will see why he was the first freshman to win the Heisman.
The tradition of the Twelfth Man was born on the second of January 1922, when an underdog Aggie team was playing Centre College, then the nation's top ranked team. As the hard fought game wore on, and the Aggies dug deeply into their limited reserves, Coach Dana X. Bible remembered a squad man who was not in uniform. He had been up in the press box helping reporters identify players. His name was E. King Gill, and was a former football player who was only playing basketball. Gill was called from the stands, suited up, and stood ready throughout the rest of the game, which A&M finally won 22-14. When the game ended, E. King Gill was the only man left standing on the sidelines for the Aggies. Gill later said, "I wish I could say that I went in and ran for the winning touchdown, but I did not. I simply stood by in case my team needed me."
Something you probably didn’t notice was the ping pong tables in the locker room. Interesting bit of inside here, ping pong is HUGE among football teams. damn near every football team has a ping pong table even in middle school and high school. I’m not sure why ping pong of all games, but it is super fun to play before and after practice and the games get extremely competitive😂
I played football for 13 years including two years in college. Every locker room I ever used had a ping pong table in it lol.
$ figure mostly includes stadium upgrades (adding an entire enclosed “stand” on south end for a total of ~20K additional seats) in 2014. Locker room stuff happened a few years later, along with weight room facilities and indoor practice fields which are being worked on right now
I think most of the money went into the stadium it’s self, nice facility but compared to other big schools it’s kinda underwhelming
You gotta do Alabamas next, my team 💯
Roll tide 🐘
Much respect to the tide 🌊.Dawgs on top 🐶
Roll Tiiide! ♥️🐘
Oregon has better athletic facilities
Lol awesome video, but FYI Texas A&M is going through major upgrades right now so what you watched will be out of date here soon
Okay to answer some of the questions you had or have; The 12th man (not sure if they still do this) is a tradition where one college student from A&M joins the team for home games and plays in the kick-off (i believe just the initial home kick-off). It has also always referred to the student section crowd.
The Heisman Trophy is awarded to the "best" player in the nation for the whole college season.
All the fancy stuff regarding ESPN and such is to win over high school player recruits. Recruiting the next in-coming class of players is a huge thing in college sports and especially in football.
It's more of a legend. The story goes that during a game against the nations top ranked team (Centre College) A&M ran out of players, so they looked toward the crowd for one. They found an old former football player and he suited up to play. A&M won 22-14 after that.
Deestroying 1v1 Football vids should be up next 🔥🔥🔥
Alabamas is beautiful...
This weekend is the Daytona 500 race !
Pretty sure Daytona is in Florida...
Jimbo Fisher's wife taught some of my junior high English classes. This was in Alabama; Jimbo was still at LSU at the time
The Oregon Ducks locker room project was over the top for the time it was created.
The idea of the top tier nature of these facilities is to appeal to a 17 or 18 year old football prospect, with the hope that these amazing facilities will make a statement about the commitment of the school to the sport, and to impress a prospect's parents concerning the education of their son. It all, hopefully, shows them that he will get first class everything for his journey to becoming a top tier player and and to becoming a young man with a degree and a future.
Really , though, it's all about recruiting. The kids and their parents chose where he will go to play ball. So all the money spent on all the flash and all the educational support is about getting the best ball players on campus and getting them to commit to playing there.
And, I suppose, it's a bit of a d**k measuring contest.
It’s good to have booster money 😂😂😂. Yet we finish the season with 5-7 lol
One thing that annoys me about the facilities tours videos is that they cut out 75% of the actual facilities and spend half of the video obsessing over sneaker displays and uniform combos. They never give the facilities justice for how nice they actually are.
The main reason why I would guess this is $450 mill is because it’s build into one of the end zones in Kyle Field, so that itself with the cost of building and renovations prob skyrocketed the price.
You’re missing one of the basic’s of the American character: it’s not the we Need it, it’s that we Want it. Excess is best.😊
You should also watch the college basketball arena tours. They have a lot of training technology.
You should check out Nebraska... their cafeteria is state of the art nutrition for each player individually.
on your keyboard, the letter K will pause , J rewind 10 seconds, L fast-forward 10 seconds ( space bar or Enter key also will pause and restart)
( this is for windows os , don't know about macOS)
We need every single bit. 😁
I assume the higher cost may include the stadium upgrades. That's just a guess.
Yeah there's no way the facilities cost that much. Padding their numbers for views
LSU is one of their oldest rivals. Also I think this video might have been right after the 7 overtime game.
LSU is by no means one of their oldest rivals, just the team aTm aspires to have as its SEC rival. Ask an LSU fan who their rival is and you're likely to hear Alabama or maybe Florida before A&M.
The Heisman trophy is for the best player in college football each year out of all 130 division 1 teams
Thanks Trenton, appreciate the comment!
I can't believe I'm the first person to answer you,I saw you ask in the other video and assumed someone would tell you. I played football since I was 5 and coached for many years, whenever you have any questions let me know and I'll make sure I explain as soon as possible. It's awesome to see new fans especially in college football,since the 1830s universities have been judged as much by their football team as they have academics in America
Usually the 🏈 programs pay for most of all the other sports so they spend most on the 🏈 team because it helps all the rest of the sports in most cases ..
So I know you guys are getting into the history of football and choosing a team. Friday Night Lights is a movie and also series based on Odessa Permian football team and shows how huge football is in Texas. Both quarterbacks in the Super Bowl came from Texas, Mahommes from Whitehouse Tx and Hurts from Channelview, Tx. Pro football has always been the most important in Texas and the Cowboys have always been the favorite. Some of the ‘old’ owners tried to keep Dallas from getting a team back in the late 50s, especially the owner of the Washington Redskins, now the politically correct Commanders. Their owner kept blocking the Cowboys expansion team from being accepted, since he was a racist and didn’t want any more southern teams. So the guy that was trying to build the team bought the rights to the Redskins Fight song from the composer that wrote it. He was upset he never got paid by the millionaire owner for his song so he sold the rights to the owner of the potential Cowboys. To get the rights to the fight song back. The Redskins owner had to vote to let the Cowboys franchise in the league, then the Cowboys owner sold him the rights to his fight song.
After JFK was murdered in Dallas, through no fault of anyone in Dallas, players were spit on and denigrated even though the assassin wasn’t even from Texas. So Tex Schram started doing a lot of innovative things that made the Cowboys the legends they are now. He was the first to have cheerleaders, and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders are world renowned. TV was just getting started and the Cowboys games were televised almost every Sunday, most other teams were not. Our coach was a WW2 fighter pilot who was shot down defending Europe, and our Quarterback was a great guy who served his Navy commitment before coming to the Cowboys in his late 20s. He was known for always coming from behind, kind of like Mahommes is now. Cowboys were known as America’s Team from the mid 70s because they had the most fans all over the Country and worldwide. Other teams were more regional in fan support. Watch Don Meredith documentary (first Cowboys QB) then The history of the Dallas Cowboys on You Tube. People hate the Cowboys because the fan base is so passionate. We hate the Eagles because they are not only rude they are cruel. They threw snowballs with rocks inside at the Cowboys one game, bottles at them another game, and when Michael Irvin was laying on the field temporarily paralyzed they cheered his injury. Most people hate the Eagles and their fans because of their conduct. More later.
I would put Texas HS football & SEC college football (now that aTm & UT are officially in the same league again) above NFL football in terms of fan loyalty and fervor, but allegiances are more divided as you move down from the pro league where there are only two franchises both of which have underachieved dramatically. It's been almost 30 years since the last Super Bowl appearance for the Cowboys 🤦🏼♂️
Many of those things were copied from the Alabama setup. Here is a video of their facilities(not including their stadium).
ruclips.net/video/M5gGbUjyk3k/видео.html
Since that was filmed, Alabama has won one more national title and added two more Heisman winners. Most of that 485 million for Texas A&M was spent on renovating and expanding their stadium. Maybe 1/5th of it was on all the other stuff they showed.
There has been an ongoing arms race as it were between the larger universities football teams and athletic directors for the last 20 years or so whereby by they compete against each other to see who can have the fanciest facilities and nicest stadiums. Keep in mind that most of the stadiums are almost 100 years old or more, but have been built on like layer cakes. There's a very strong rivalry undercurrent between Alabama and Texas A&M. It was developed originally because Alabama's name sake, legendary Coach Paul Bryant coached at Texas A&M and created a legendary team after a legendary spring practice in the desolate cactus pastures of Texas. Texas A&M seems to have a slight inferiority complex because of Alabama's decades long winning tradition with coach Bryant Texas A&M is an excellent school and is easily three times the size of Alabama with almost 100,000 students. and several campuses. Their team joined the Southeastern Conference, a decade or so ago, and has been inferior or mediocre. During that time usually losing to Alabama. The ego of Texans is such that they can't stand to be second at anything, and there was already a huge rivalry between Texas A&M and the University of Texas in their previous football conference. That dissolved, reformed, and is dissolving again. Both Texas and Texas A&M have moved to the southeastern conference, where Alabama has been the resident royalty for decades, and they look to knock off the king. Conferences consist of groups of teams who play schedules with each other for at least 8 to 10 games per season, does developing geographic rivalries of which Louisiana State University being a next-door neighbor to Texas, has become arrival to Texas A&M. The story never stops.
FYI-i’m a 61yr old native Houstonian (Texas), so i thought i’d give you some facts about how crazy football is in Texas , plus the size of some of our School Districts….
I live in a NW suburb 25 miles out of Houston
We have 12 High Schools in the District, all of them have over 3000 students (grade 9th-12th)…..in 2006 they built Berry stadium at a cost of $85,000,000…17yrs ago, $85mil. !!!!
That’s insane! Thanks Andy!
@@DNReacts Research Dock Butkus…you guys will not believe how intense he was & how the game back in his day, was WAY MORE violent then today
Jack Lamberth
Reggie White
Micheal Singatery
as well
The stadium itself is amazing, but they failed to show you the student/ athlete’s study area, the dining facilities and much more. You lads should come visit us, and attend a game, only then can you understand where the $400+ was spent.
Gig’em 👍🏽 BTHOeveryone
Michigan has the largest stadium that seats 110,000, Penn State seats 109,000, and Ohio State seats 105,000. All of those stadiums are bigger than Texas A&M. You should research the Penn State whiteout they do once a year. It’s easily the best, most intimidating environment in college football
Jimbo's "championship mindset" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Granted this was three years ago when there was still hope Jimbo was going to take the Aggies to the promisedland, but it's been a comedy of disappointments since.
I agree... that facility was nice, but not half a billion dollars nice. My guess is some contractors that worked on this took a nice cut off the top for themselves.
Glad you did this! I said this on one of your first vids I say. “COISKI” does great vids on facilities for all sports
Appreciate the support and the suggestion!
You gotta look at so fi stadium if you want to see one for the nfl
You guys should react to British people in the NFL it's a very rare thing but some of them are very good
Thanks Ryan!
The NY Yankees lockers are nuts
At Texas A&M the significance of the twelve is not just the crowd being the twelfth man. Every week they pick a student or fan out of the crow to dress with the team and even run one play in the game as a tribute to the fans.
lol no they don't
False.... there's a walk-on player that wears 12 for the season and generally plays on the kick coverage team, not some rando from the stands. The legend of E. King Gill is overblown as he didn't actually play in the game where he was called down from the press box - he just suited up and stood on the bench.
Please react to the Florida Gators new football facility!
Wind, rain, and snow can be your best friend or worst enemy on a single drive. There are flags in the goalposts for wind direction but Las Vagas needs to know how fast it's blowing in that direction. I'm joking of course. No I'm not.
The biggest reason there is a difference is that newer facilities are state of the art. Oregons facility is old. It was built I the late 90s while this one was built around 2008/09. Newer technology, equipment for training, recovery as well as entertainment. Why do they spend that much? You better if you want to draw in the biggest recruits. If not, they'll gladly go somewhere else. Oregon spends more on their 50 thousand different uniforms, players like that.
You literally have no fucking clue what you're talking about lol... Oregons athletic facilities were just built. And built by Nike. They have the best athletic facilities in the Entire Nation.
Educate your dumb ass... "built in the late 90s"...? Lmao
The new facilities were built in 2013.
God people like you are fucking insufferable. Look at your long ass comment on something you're objectively wrong about, but pretend like you know.. what a putz
The difference in price may be that they included the price of the stadium.
My high school biology teacher is the brother of the former CEO of Halliburton, who was an A&M alum and a major donator to the school. I'm sure he contributed most of that half billion
Phil Knight shits on all of them.
The 60 million for Oregon doesn’t include the stadium
One thing they didn't mention was those lockers are vented. Air flow out for smells & drying.
Here is the University Of Alabama football facility. I recommend showing Part #2 first...

Thanks Joesph
I don't think there is any traditional rivalry between Tex A&M & LSU. They have played each other of course. This was probably just a well played game. Oh GAWD!! What is it that makes a facility worth $500K? I have no idea. I would think having a $60M dollar facility is kinda pretentious. I think this one & Alabama are expensive but I have no idea what goes into them. Maybe the cost of the stadium too? Way before my time. And I don't keep up with it now.
You should look into the NFL Las Vegas Raiders new stadium. 1.9 billion dollars.
Didn’t beat lsu in a long time
You need to watch colorado buffaloes locker room.and training center
University of Oregon has the best football facilities in the United States. College or NFL.
In the world... I haven't seen better
watch the ducks one next
Team Nike. Best athletic facilities in the country
I’m guessing the difference in cost is location. Things are less expensive in Oregon than Texas. I’m also sure if you were to look at California schools, they would be more expensive than Texas. New York the same way, everything in New York is way more expensive than Texas.
Take a look at Greatest American Sports Fans, video is amazing.
Oh man I've been waiting for this one. This 100% should be a series, because that YT channel does great tours of top flight facilities. Some of the most striking and impressive facilities would be Alabama, Oregon and LSU. These are facilities that are better than nearly every professional team in the world.
They should definitely make this a series
Auburn has a new one that’s really nice as well
Thanks for the comment Sam. Definitely going to be covering more of these! Can’t wait to see even crazier facilities
There are five or six universities in the country, that compete heavily for national championships and football, and have sterling examples of athletic facilities to recruit the best athletes, offering athletic scholarships that pay for their uni educations and show off their talents to NFL scouts. Many of these athletes come in very poor households and have barely enough money to keep their families together. As such, like many kids, they believe that athletics is the only way to get their family and themselves out of poverty. Sadly, most never go onto a professional football career and generally throw away their education potential often not being qualified enough to be in university in the first place, without heavy, remedial, teaching, and tutoring. Football is their place and time to shine.
In a nutshell. The Heisman Trophy is awarded to the BEST college player in the country. That's what makes it a big deal.
All those facilities will attract not only the best players, but the best sponsors too. Its really an investment.
Thank you!
University of Michigan next
Ya i agree , dont know where all they're money went on this one, Alabama or Lsu , Georgia... much more impressive
Texas A&M have a lot of rich donors with a lot of oil money, and they have to spend it somewhere.
Recruits, fellas, recruits....
Alabama
If y’all think this is crazy go look at Arkansas college baseball Locker room it is crazy
better locker room means players will want to go to that school to play football
Well, you know 485mil isn't what it used to be..🤣😅
😂😂
That’s the wrong video. They didn’t show everything and didn’t cover a lot of the integrated technologies
This kid did nothing to really sell the facility. From this video it is nothing compared to LSU, Oregon or Alabama. The problem with A&M is they think they are elite but they are really a pretty average team.
I'm an OU fan here, to be honest, A&M got ripped off! They are always on the losing end. Seeing these renovations, just reinforces the point. There should be a public investigation into were all that money went. I am sure Jimbo got some of it. Heads should roll!
❤️
Oregon Ducks hands down the best facility in all of college sports!
The SEC conference is the biggest and strongest conference in college football they put more players in the NFL then any other conference they include teams from NC FL AL MS TN KY MO LA and TX and just a little fun fact my home state of MS put 12 players in the super bowl 12 players born and raised from MS more then any other state
14:03 A number of reasons; team status, what conference their in, SEC is huge, the size of the facility, Texas is AF central in high school, college & NFL so they're competitiveness with Texas U is going to spill over into whose facility is bigger & better, and it depends what kind of shape the facility was in prior to renovation.
Thank for the context Pushpak. Definitely makes sense!
A lot of these schools fudge these numbers.
.... Oregon has the best athletic facilities in the Entire world.... There's little debate about that.
Gig 'em Aggies. Texas A&M graduate here. My neighbor was a contractor who worked on this facility. Universities make money off the college football games.
The $485 million includes the stadium
I don’t think just the locker room was half a billion that was just part of it. Remember too these guys do not take care of their own stuff. It’s washed and folded and put away by staff and they come back in and it’s all set up for game day already for them.
I played college softball and I took home my bag with bat and gloves and such but our uniforms were taken care of and folded and ready for us in our lockers for game day. And I played at a D2 school.
TRUST ME. There are facilities 2x as better and bigger than this one.
Thanks. We’ll definitely be reviewing more, so can’t wait to see them!
Oregon
1:45, The NFL is a for profit business so there's no way they're going to have this much opulence in their facilities, lol.
Great video guys. I watched the last video you posted breaking down the Xs and Os of the counter, and if you want a better video i recommend this one ruclips.net/video/qBVD0b6W8go/видео.html by the QB School. He’s a former nfl qb and he breaks down the plays using film and it’s much more comprehensive. Hope this help you guys understand the game that’s brought me so much joy over the years.
Thank you for the support, appreciate it. Have added your suggestion to our list!
Why? TEXAS.☺
If you think about the scale of the US. Id say college football is more like our premier league than the nfl is. Its the teams we have geographically and historically connection with that have die hard supporters. While the NFL is more like y’all’s National team theres pride there and nationalism but its not quite the same as the passion you have for the boys you watched in your backyard growing up as a child ya know? If you think about the LA rams playing say the new york jets in an nfl game thats more than double the amount of travel the spanish national team would have to do to play in germany and while there are still rivalries and passion its not like the hate youre gunna see between the clubs in Manchester or london.
Texas AM beat LSU 74-72 in 7 Overtimes I believe.
