AUSTIN (KXAN) — With Texas State set to join the revamped Pac-12 Conference in 2026, the home of the Bobcats' football team got a significant upgrade that was officially unveiled in October.
The Johnny and Nathali Weisman Football Performance Center weight room and training facility is an 11,000-square-foot enhancement to the Bobcats' south end zone complex, part of an 85,000-square-foot renovation that includes hospitality areas and suites in the 20-year-old facility at UFCU Stadium in San Marcos.

Designed by Pfluger Architects, the weight room and training area for the football team is on the ground floor, which opens onto the playing surface at the stadium. It includes updated weight training equipment, hydrotherapy and cold plunge pools, meeting spaces, enhancements to the locker room and a barber shop.
The top level of the facility features a large suite and a banquet room with a rooftop terrace that faces the field, looking toward the north end of the stadium. The suite is also intended for team meals and other events. With Texas State's leap to the Pac-12 Conference, the complex is designed for future enhancements and to grow along with the athletic program.
"The university’s vision to have a facility to help student-athletes reach their full potential drove our design, putting player and team wellness at the forefront," said Chris Lammers, the project manager with Pfluger. "Everything in the space planning, design, and programmatic needs was driven by efficiency and maximizing every minute to make Texas State’s players better athletes."
The Bobcats are coming off back-to-back eight-win seasons, but have hit a little rough patch this season with a 3-5 record and 0-4 mark in the Sun Belt Conference.
