Driving into town from Bellevue last night around 8:00 PM this tower was the brightest object on the skyline.  It looks amazing!  What a great addition to our city!

As I drove back into Nashville tonight from the west on 40, I took the ramp onto 440 and was gobsmacked by the visual impact of the lighted Vandy dorm tower as I rounded that curve. And I do mean gobsmacked in such a way that I almost needed a smoke afterwards! Thanks, Vandy!!! I needed that. :shades:

Geez, that's all that was there? Reminds me of when I was young and  little league football teams would get free admittance to Vandy games if we wore our football jerseys. That helped fill the empty seats.

They're gonna either need to do that again or start winning!

To be fair to Vandy, I think it's a lot harder for college sports to pack stadiums when said college is in a city with things to do other than attend college sports games.  In somewhere like Tuscaloosa or Gainesville or Ann Arbor, that's pretty much the only ticket in town.

So who gets to live in the new castle penthouse?   I would like to tour it.  

If I recall correctly, there are apartments in the tower for the faculty head of house as well as other apartments for short-term distinguished visitors. I think the top floor might be a meeting room for the Chancellor / Board of Trust.

I'm not sure this is so much a reflection of enthusiasm for Vandy as it is the fact that some may not feel comfortable attending large events like this with near-record coronavirus cases and Tennessee (at the time) indeed having the most per capita cases in the country. Hopefully attendance will pick back up in the coming weeks as things get better (also, Georgia coming to town this Saturday will probably help as well). The university will probably be more enthusiastic about promoting attendance when it is not at cross-purposes with its other messaging on gatherings.

It was an arrested development joke ;)
