I would have thought both the Football Stadium and/or Arena would be athletic facilities. Unless we are making them Multipurpose Facilities for the Geometry Club and Hermaneutics Society

It's the 'I know something you don't know and I am not going to tell you because only us cool kids can know' type post. But hey, whatever makes you feel better about yourself
At this point I just roll my eyes at it and laugh

If I can't say something I know in public I don't even mention I know it. What's the point? (paging SJ)

If this is sports related, it surely won't be a shocker to anyone. I'm guessing that when the "news" comes out, most of us here will be surprised, simply because we were under the impression that the unmentioned improvement had already begun (i.e. Olympic Sports/Aquatics center).
I know one thing- with the direction both public and private schools are heading in regards to online learning, we better make hay while the sun is shining!

I'm going to guess an upper deck to the student side, maybe a matching tower to match the Baptist side, am I right????? Come on just say it!

I was sitting at the game with the wife last night and was looking at the opponent locker room and flag side of the stadium and was really seeing how big the Bill could get when bowled in, kind of got me pumped up for the future!

Boo on bowling it in. What are we? Soup? Cereal? If we wanna be UVA South we need the grassy knoll. Expand FOC on both sides, put the visiting lockers there then grass and grade the other side. Presto. Awesomeness

The speakers at the stadium were new as well. Sounded great but its hard not to dream about how loud the bill could be if it was closed in. We lose a lot of sound over there. How about a home liberty owned golf course. That would be sweet

If i was one of the advertisers on the scoreboard/video board I would be concerned about the placement of the speakers. Unless they want their signs partially to fully obstructed, in which case never mind.

The way the speakers are set up is an eye sore, I was hoping they were just temporary last season but guess not. Hopefully there's a plan long term for the video board/ speakers.

The scaffolding on top of the visitors locker room as well, I don't personally know how to avoid putting the cameramen up there but it takes away from the big time feel the school is going for.

that camera is for getting the end zone shots that you can't get from the FOC end so unless somebody wants to pony up for a new locker room and a camera well that can be built around when the south end gets closed in, that scaffolding is probably the best we are going to get for those north-facing shots.

Hot air balloon. You could sell advertising space!

How high do you think it would go?
My guess is to get even a good shot angle it would have to clear the flagpoles at the minimum based on the size of the average hot air balloon.
