How much did the Texas Longhorns locker room cost? See inside the unbelievable facility that Arch Manning, Quinn Ewers practice in

In 2017, the Texas Longhorns spent $10 million to uplift their athletic facility. While this is a modest figure for Division I programs, a striking $7 million was spent only on upgrading the Longhorns’ football locker rooms. Top programs always try to one-up themselves by bringing in a differentiator. It’s safe to say the Longhorns chose to stand out with their infrastructure.

The $7 million facility has some striking features that are no-brainers for some of the top recruits in the country. Having the luxury of utilizing a facility that is very close to NFL standards is definitely what a young high schooler drools over.

The Longhorns facility is arguably one of the finest in the country. Though they have spent top dollar to rebuild the locker room, they have also been quite considerate about the whole process.

Ensuring their players have the best of everything, the Texas Longhorns have used top-notch technology and efficiency in building this world-class building. Built under the aegis of Tom Herman, this state-of-the-art building has everything an athlete would need and more.

Walking into the Texas Longhorns facility

Players enter their facility pulling a 3D Longhorns logo. As they step in, their customized lockers await them. These customized lockers cost about $8700 each. While most teams have a huge logo printed on the flooring, the Texas Longhorns have their bull on the ceiling, overlooking the players.

To add to these aesthetics, the Longhorns’ team values, pillars of the program, and upcoming opponents are inscribed through digital and 3D media. Each locker has a 37-inch screen display that acts as a nameplate for individual athletes.

To top this, each locker is made of stainless steel, substituting the old-school wooden lockers. The stainless steel not only gives it a neat look, but it also eliminates pungent odor. Each booth has a signature Texas Longhorns’ Hook ‘em branded tray that holds equipment as well. Powered with the best technology, these booths even have helmet holders that can be controlled as per the moisture content on the helmet.

A good coach and a top recruiting system are what take a college team to the top. Though this facility was built under Herman, under coach Sarkisian, the Texas side has already made some serious moves in college ball.

A locker room like that helps attract some of the country’s top talents too. Two of the country’s finest quarterbacks in Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers have been using this world-class facility in the recent past.
