Has anyone ever been in it? When I went to the Orange & White game when Kiffin was here he had the whole football complex open to the public & I was able to get in & see the trophy room. It look like it had'nt been changed since the early 90's. It looked awful, some of the orange was fading away, there was dust everywhere. I dont see how they could ever show that to recruits. Does anyone know if they plan on updating it? Because it definately needs it. Hopefully when they do all the renovations to the fooball complex next year they will renovate that room. I've seen Ole Miss', Alabamas, & Floridas trophy rooms & they blow Tennessees out of the water right now.

Lately we haven't had a reason to update it, hence all the dust. Kidding...kind of...

It was completely renovated later that summer (09). Additional upgrades were done this summer and fall, including new visual stuff honoring Tennessee All-Americans and SEC Champions inside the area around the indoor practice field.

There will also be a new and larger Hall of Fame when the extension to the complex is built.

Does Ole Miss really need an entire room for their trophies? I would have thought a shelf would have sufficed.

With Florida down, UGA down, UT on the rise maybe we will add a few more next year...

Peyton Manning gave a million dollars for the updates last year before the Ohio game

I didn't know it was open to the public then or I would have went. Does anybody know how to get a tour any other time?
