| NEWS Tour Alabama's new $15 million dining facility for athletes

Alabama opened new dining facility and recruiting room this summer.

Take a quick tour of Alabama's new athletics dining facility that opened this summer.

Located at the football complex just off Bryant Drive, the two-level addition came with a price tag of $15 million. It has 10 serving stations with more than 50 flat screen TVs and a total capacity of 480.

Views of the Crimson Tide football practice fields are available through the first-floor patio and the second level porch.

The project also included a remodel of the space previously used as a team dining and recruiting room. The newly retooled recruiting room is a museum of accomplishments from the Nick Saban era complete with championship trophies and rings

I think the helmet display is a very nice touch. Consistant reminders of where your hard work and where Alabama can put you.

The trophies were also a great touch. I know folks were talking about running out of trophy space, and this helps that issue.

Room for more lights. I looked at that quickly (counted the lights in the picture as well.)

@doemasters cut him out, right side ... you've got all the correct backgrounds already in the picture 'shoping' it. I mean, really. What's up with the old man getting in the picture? (...may be younger than me.)

I like seeing the trophy eye candy spread out. I would think recruits and players will pay more attention to some of these goodies than just seeing them piled up in a few areas.

I just wanna hang out on the patio and watch a couple of practices. I promise to be quiet
