Virginia - 2028

Wake Forest - 2023

ECU - 2024, 2027, 2030

Liberty - 2025

JMU - 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032, etc

App State - 2023, 2025, 2027, 2029, 2031, 2033, etc

I think ODU's gonna have teams folks wanna go so see for some time to come. I think a 30K stadium is a no brainer, but y'all can hate for no reason if you want.

I drove past the stadium and was impressed at how quickly it’s coming along.

S.B. Ballard plans to propose a new 25K seat (expandable) stadium, on the Foreman Field site. The plan would incorporate elements of the original Foreman Field, but unfortunately, the "clam shell" ble

I wasn't a huge fan of the original 22K proposed, but I figured they would eventually expand, and thought it's a start. But why not at least go for 30K to get closer to NSU? Right now, you're still sm

I was just kidding. My own team hasn't had much luck against the Sun Belt lately. :alc:

The only 30K+ stadium in this area is at NSU, which is FCS. I don’t think ODU has to strive for 70K seats like what the ACC or SEC has, but I see no reason why they shouldn’t bump up to 30-35K. esp. since they still have several in-state rivals that can help pack that stadium. Granted, they need a consistently solid product like what they had the first time they went to a bowl game. I say at least 7-8 wins year in, year out gets the job done.

Asking a question is not tantamount to hate. LOL.

Winning is key to filling seats. Yes, I agree.  Having a big stadium simply for bragging rights …half-empty for a losing team… is certainly not fiscally responsible, nor is it a good look. Not saying that applies to ODU btw, just speaking in general terms.
