But why would that have made you excited?

You get excited because random people from the internet may have lived in the same area as you decades ago?

[BJWilliams]

Yeah pretty much...until 01 was on here I didnt even know of another FF member being from that area. I forget that there are quite a few Portsmouths in the US (and of course one in England)

Don't forget about Tally and PeterParker...wherever they went.

Tally planted a church and became a semi-church celebrity in the TRBC/mid-east church planting circle.

PLAY UP POMPEY!

Upon completion of the first phase, the newly renovated Williams Stadium will be able to seat 19,200

There you have it, our capacity will be 19,200

The only FCS opponents Liberty could play that would draw in randoms simply on name are the state schools (JMU, UR, W&M) and maybe Appalachian State. Liberty's increased drawing power attendance wise is based purely on the program itself, and there's no doubt that the community has taken some interest. The amount of people who have no affiliation with the school who ask me, "hey, so is Liberty going to be pretty good this year?" frankly surprises me. That didn't happen five years ago.

[01LUGrad]

This is how the conversation went, right?

Lynchburg folks: "hey, so is Liberty going to be pretty good this year?"
Lang: "They are going to be amazing! You should definetly get your tickets early!"

[Cider Jim]

Lang: "And come early to tailgate before the game!"

Something tells me all of us need to change our predictions on this one.

I still vote for a sellout... the attendance will just be a tiny bit smaller that's all

[olldflame]

I don't know what the capacity with standing room is at city stadium, but I do know that back in the heyday of the Glass/Heritage rivalry, they were well over the listed 10,000 capacity every year. I'm guessing we can get 13,000 or so in.

[bozlady]

That city stadium is going to be rockin' that night!! It's going to be so much fun

[jcmanson]

[Sly Fox]

My prediction stands. Even coming off back-to-back losses, there has to be a buzz among fans about the new stadium.

[Schfourteenteen]

We only got like 8 and change, right?

Says nothing about a new stadium

I am excited to be coming out the week the new stadium opens. I will be there to see it in person and expect to see a full house.

[phoenix]

Should be a full house. As long as the weather's good, I'll have 5 with me (if the weather is "bad" it will be me and my father in law).

accuweather.com says there's going to be "plenty of sunshine" and 68 degrees!!! Woohoo!!

Keep an eye on this. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tr ... ml#a_topad
Upper level activity could push this north over the next few days...hopefully it will be out of the picture by Saturday.
