MO" practice facility of the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. | University of OregonIn a recent episode of "Kittle Things" the podcast featuring San Fransisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife Claire Kittle, the husband and wife duo invited on the "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast crew of former NFL athletes Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. During the show, the topic of best college facilities in the nation arose, to which Claire Kittle asked Lewan and Compton about their time visiting the Ducks. The two podcasters visited Eugene, Oregon once in the 2025 offseason during the week of April 7 and"Is that the best facility you've been in, you think?" asked Claire Kittle. "Because I remember, like, growing up, Oregon was like the place to be. All the jerseys were the sickest." Construction is underway on July 9, 2025, near Autzen Stadium to expand the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex by adding an indoor practice facility to primarily serve University of Oregon football players. | Hannarose McGuinness/The Register-Guard / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesCompton, who played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers at linebacker from 2008-2012, gave a fairly predictable answer to Kittle's question. "Look, I'm biased but I also think it's not close," Compton said. "It's close, like, other schools have great facilities. I just think the best facility we have been in is Nebraska." To be fair to Compton, the Osborne Legacy Complex at the University of Nebraska, named after famed coach Tom Osborne, does provide an impressive 315,000 square foot worth of amenities at a $165 million price tag"Nebraska does have the newest facility that we've been to so far," Lewan replied. "And I would agree. Like, Nebraska at this point - what I've seen is the best. I know Oregon is doing like either a $250 or a $500 million dollar renovation right now. So when that's done, you're gonna have to - we'll probably be like, 'yeah Oregon'."

"The connector features an expanded weight room and players’ lounge to provide dedicated spaces for student-athletes to prepare for games. Large windows would open from the players’ lounge to the practice field. Additional doors would open from the lounge to an exterior terrace, creating a flexible multipurpose space where the team could study and gather or host special events,""Yeah," Lewan said. "We'll be back as much as possible."As it appears the Bussin' With the Boys podcast still has a strong relationship with Lanning, it's likely both Lewan and Compton will board the plane for Eugene whenever the "2.MO" facility opens it's retractable doors.A reporter for Oregon Ducks on SI, Ally Osborne is a born and raised Oregonian.
