30,000? Come on, ODU. You have got to do better than this. Parking on that campus stinks. It is basically impossible for me to see the end of the game and travel the 10 miles home without being stuck in traffic for at least an hour. If ever a college stadium needed to be off campus, this is it. The public interest is off the charts. They've sold out every game in the program's modern history including all 6 games this year. People want a winner in the area and ODU can deliver if they get it together.
I've often said that if they could combine ODU's location (media market and local talent pool) with Liberty's vision and checkbook, it would be the perfect storm.
ODU envisions new, 30,000-seat football stadiumhttp://hamptonroads.com/2013/08/odu-env ... ll-stadium
Old Dominion ultimately plans to play major college football in a new, 30,000-seat on-campus stadium - not at Foreman Field - according to a proposal presented Monday to the executive committee of the Board of Visitors.
...
The stadium would be designed so it could expand to 45,000 or more seats, sources said.
Although the stadium would not be on the Elizabeth River, many seats would have a water view, a rarity for a college football stadium.
