Each stall cost them $8,700, made out of stainless steel instead of wood, which allowed them to have an anti-bacterial feature to reduce odors. Meanwhile, each stall has a 37' TV. Money also went into improving their weight room.
#2 Florida
The Florida Gators splurged on locker room upgrades recently, and the star of the show is the chair in each stall.
The chairs recline into a "zero-gravity" position that is supposed to ease pressure from joints, which will help with recovery for their players.
#3 Vanderbilt
The Vanderbilt Commodores football program recently rejigged their locker room.
The locker room was renovated as part of a $300 million project to improve athletic facilities at the school.
The chairs are recliners, while the door can be pushed back to turn it into a sleeping pod for each player.
#4 TCU
The TCU Horned Frogs got a massive locker room upgrade in 2023. TCU got a donation from the Jane & John Justin Foundation to refurbish the football team's locker room.
"We are truly appreciative and grateful to the Jane & John Justin Foundation for their tremendous generosity in helping make this project a reality," TCU Head Football Coach Sonny Dykes said, via the team website.
"It will have an unbelievable impact on the student-athletes in our football program and show future Horned Frogs our shared commitment to their physical and mental health. I am also excited how this facility will positively impact all 22 of our sports. It is another example of how special TCU is and its commitment to success and excellence through providing the best possible experience for student-athletes."
It also provided a studio for the women's triathlon program, a yoga/stretching room, expanded free weight and cardio space, an expanded nutrition center, and the addition of an outdoor warm-up area.

The upgrades cost the school $55 million as the stalls were upgraded to look like thrones as the team strives to be atop the college football world.
Clemson also has a two-lane bowling alley and a basketball court for players.
