Rick George's eyes light up when he talks about the nearly completed facilities project at the University of Colorado.

CU's athletic director beams when showing off the rooftop terrace, which has a remarkable view of the Flatirons and has already hosted weddings other events.

He sounds like a proud dad when showing off the indoor practice facility, which includes FieldTurf that was set just this past week. That building is expected to be ready for the start of spring football practice in early February.

"I'm really excited about it," George said.
