Okay... this thread is being revived as I did not want to start a new one... just more videos of world-class facilities... one from Manchester City and another from the New York Red Bulls.
Okay, I know that at this point you guys will hate me for posting these... I don't know why I do but I watch them and I just can't stop myself from thinking "Why don't we have these in India for football?" I mean, the answer is obvious but I can't stop dreaming.
Anyway, last one... this is the Ole Miss American football training facilities. This is a college and they spend all this for their football team... a college team... amateurs. Yet our "professional footballers" train on what?
Just imagine one day that East Bengal or Mohun Bagan can have facilities that truly capture their unique history and make the current guys dream of doing what these these guys did... would be amazing.
@ArsenalFan700 Mahesh Bhupathi is alumnus of this University of Mississippi. Huge spending by Public Universities Division I is a matter of public debate as they are also raising College Tuition at alarming rate. They spend more on their Athletes, get more public funding from State and in return raise tuition even higher resulting in more Student debt. Is that a part of their agenda, thats debatable? Athlete program is also a money spinner for them. Ticket prices for games is as high as 50 to 75 dollars plus millions of Dollars from ESPN. Players are paid next to nothing.
