One step closer to B1G Time: Rutgers Dedicates Football Practice Complex

It makes you look like you’re ready for prime time. It attracts better athletes. It says you’re committed.

Rutgers is there.

The new practice complex, made possible by a gift from Jeff and Amy Towers and named after Rutgers All American tight end Marco Battaglia, was dedicated under relstively clear skies and comfortable temperatures, perhaps a positive omen for a long-suffering program, and before a large and appreciative crowd.

The upgraded practice facility, part of the “R Big Ten Build’ fundraising initiative, features two new grass fields; complete with rebuilt drainage and a new irrigation system as well as a state-of-the-art LED lighting system.
