UMass Alumnus Martin Jacobson pledges $5.58 million to help fund a new practice bubble for football.
The Gazette, which has not yet replaced Matty Vautour, has story about the gift and notes some of the funds will go towards a high-rez scoreboard.
Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" also has a post on the gift.
This is good news for the football team and athletic dept. While not a hard-sided facility, it'll be functional and a big help in bad-weather Amherst. Along with the scoreboard, it's another year of improvements. UMass went decades without any sort of improvements in McGuirk and this means we're still on the way up.
