The Oregon Ducks' new practice facility isn't finished yet but it's already striking.

The project is impossible to miss and starting to take shape, including: Construction of a new 170,000 sq. ft. indoor athletics training facility, relocation of two outdoor practice fields and the realignment of Leo Harris Parkway ... plus upgrades to nearby community facilities, including parking and natural areas in Alton Baker Park.

The futuristic design and the sheer scale make this project different than anything else in college football.

The Ducks are building what will become the largest indoor football practice facility in the nation, a structure longer, wider and taller than anything else in college football. At nearly 100 feet tall, it will be one of the tallest practice facilities in the country, not just college athletics ... commanding the type of attention that has increasing benefits in recruiting and branding.

What is surprising is the big changes that have been made even since April, when Oregon Ducks on SI reporter Bri Amaranthus shared the images and videos below. The speed of the construction makes it easy to visualize how the exterior will look ... but the inside elements are still to come.... only adding to the excitement of how this could transform Oregon football.

"It's pretty awesome," Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. "I always think a healthy university, you're going to see some buildings going up. And it's really awesome to be able to see that going on in our backyard, and the impact that's going to make for us in future seasons, and how that's going to be really a weapon for our players and our coaches, for us to continue to advance."

Lanning also emphasized the benefits of the the closeness of classrooms to the indoor field, recovery rooms, a players lounge, weight room, and indoor temperature control.

Compared to the April update, the biggest changes are how the futuristic shape of the facility and the two outdoor field are becoming recognizable. Notably, it was entirely funded through private philanthropy.

Wild Details Of Oregon's New Football Facility

The project, called “2.Mo.,” is designed as an all-encompassing athlete performance space. Some of the details sound like a recruiting pitch dream. Here are a few cool features:

• A rooftop players’ lounge overlooking Autzen Stadium.

• A players' lounge overlooking the practice field.

• The two outdoor practice fields will connect directly to the indoor field, creating seamless transitions from one practice environment to another.

• A classroom and meeting space tying directly into the field so players can move from film study and drill breakdowns straight into live reps.

• The indoor space also links directly to the weight room, plus nutrition and recovery areas, creating a football ecosystem all under one vision.

During the 2025 season, the Ducks moved practice inside Autzen Stadium and the Moshofsky Center as the new 170,000 square-foot facility space is being built. The construction itself is becoming apart of the Oregon football experience, as fans love to catch a glimpse on their way into games, while the team and staff get to see the rise of the facility day-by-day. It's quite inspiring.

The addition of the football-specific indoor complex fees up existing facilities for other student-athletes. Football gains a purpose-built home, which means there is less competition for space, something the other programs could benefit from.

Still a construction site, the fact that the new football facility is already this striking bodes well for how unique the finished project might look. In the arms race of best college football facilities, Oregon is certainly a winner.
