Amenities in the new Husker complex

What kind of negative thinking downer do you have to be to come onto this post applauding what our student athletes are blessed to have??? and just attempt to turn it into a post bashing what the university did to upgrade facilities. 
Dont hear any players complaining at all and instead hear them talking about how amazing they are. 
Just weird AF that this is your outlook on these amazing facilities our Husker football team is lucky enough to have at their finger tips!

What "new" should they have done? And space is a good thing for future upgrades.

I don't know it's not any specific thing it's just that there's nothing, but I guess if you

want an example, I would have every wall be digital capable. So you can change anything on a wall at any time. I mean with all the tech we have today why don't you use it. With an AI they could have programs run so different rooms look different at certain times and if you have a recruit in you can easily take that recruit and put them on the wall in a Husker uniform all over. Photos and videos. Theme out the whole building for them. Just a for instance.

Yes they can change things later and can probably add things in places behind walls, and my example is probably not the best as tech is generally the easiest upgrade, but the point is, why didn't they already have something new and cool ready to show off? That was my point. It should have something -.anything and it doesn't. Not going to keep repeating it to people anymore.

There is more to our building that isn't being shown and I will not get into details.  We have ALL kinds of room for future upgrades and that is why it was built bigger and looks "empty" to some of you.   The one thing I do not care for is our locker room as it feels cramped to me.

Roster limits will help that out.

You know there's a massive video wall that you can see from the street/sidewalk? I drove by yesterday and it had Suh all over it with his awards. Pretty sure that will be used for exactly what you're talking about.

I'll lightly defend @Blackshirt83 here. Throughout this whole process I've felt a similar sense of being 'whelmed' by the new complex - it's massive and cool, but it's always struck me as being like, 'okay, yeah' in terms of efficiency and aesthetic, rather than "WOW". It's kind of hard to articulate exactly, and I don't know what differences or additions would change it, but I'm not an architect or interior designer. I just know that I've definitely seen facilities (Oregon, LSU) that made me go "holy s#!t" and ours has mostly made me go "oh, cool". Feels somewhat like a big hotel lobby or conference center with a lot of empty space as opposed to others that feel more like a space ship or a castle or something. Again, I'm talking ergonomics, aesthetics, etc. 

Edit: Also to be clear, it's obviously impressive. It's unfathomably huge and cost $150 million there's no way it wouldn't be. There's also an important disclaimer with 1:1 comparisons that the training table and academic support sections etc. serve all the student athletes and not just the football team. Seems like a lot of the massive budget is found in those sorts of operational and logistical strengths than in 'cool' stuff, which is fine I'm not mad about it. But you look at our $150mil project compared to Oregon's $68mil project or Georgia's $80mil project and it seems at best on par in terms of the wow factor stuff.

I think I said it in the other thread but the color pallet and font were poor choices and will look dated quickly. I wish they would have stuck with richer colors like the old locker room or Georgia's facility. It kind of looks like HGTV did the paint... But the feedback from the CFB Reddit is overwhelming positive and jealous.
