When the new athletics facility is completed on the site of the current Ed Weir Track, the football locker room will move out of North Stadium and into the new building. When the team makes the gameday walk from the locker room to the field, it will walk through a new glassy structure referred to as “the knuckle." That, according to a preliminary project proposal set for consideration by the Board of Regents on Oct. 25, will enhance the Tunnel Walk experience for all involved.

“As they come out of the new Football Performance Center the team will then enter into the new NE tower that will enable fans to not only slap the players hands but will also allow fans at multiple levels to look down and cheer on the team as they make their way inside the stadium,” the document says.
