We can’t even fill the current stadium anymore. Why expand?

Years ago I would have been an advocate for expanding NEZ for students

It would be gneiss if they booked more bands. I had a blast! And certainly

VTHokie2000 • 05/09/25 01:39 PM ET
Couldn’t they just build in an access road for the new structure ?
kingofcassell • 05/09/25 01:27 PM ET
The access road is to serve the existing structures. VA state law(s) and
