AU FOOTBALL: Board of trustees to vote on indoor practice facility

If the proposal is passed, planning and construction will commence immediately.
Auburn would become the seventh team in the SEC to have a full-sized, 100-yard indoor practice facility. Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky and LSU are the others, while South Carolina and Tennessee have similar, undersized buildings like Auburn.
