LOOK: Ole Miss’ Manning Center Renovations Set To Conclude in July

The Rebels’ football facility will finally have a completed facelift this month.

OXFORD, Miss. — The Manning Center, the indoor practice facility for the Ole Miss Rebels football team, is scheduled to have its renovations completed this month, the team announced on Thursday.

The upgraded facility will have a completed cost of $45.7 million, and its opening date in July is on schedule with the school’s original announcement. Renovations on the facility began in January 2022.

The renovations include an expanded locker room (complete with a barber shop and hydro tanks), a 10,710-square-foot weight room, new offices for coaches and a new training room.

This renovation is part of the department’s “CHAMPIONS. NOW.” campaign, and plans were originally in place to also renovate Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, but that plan was delayed with no new timetable given for its completion. 

Ole Miss football released some teaser photos of the facility on social media on Thursday, and you can find that post below.

The opening of the new facility comes just in time for fall camp and the start of the Rebels’ 2023 season. Ole Miss will open its new campaign at home against the Mercer Bears on Sept. 2 before traveling to New Orleans to face the Tulane Green Wave the following Saturday.
