Why do you want to go 2-6 each year in conference?

That's what, 1-2 games worse than now?**
WestyHokie • 11/05/24 02:07 PM ET
We would probably hire better coaches with that additional money.**

Femoyer Hokie • 11/02/24 07:29 AM ET
I don’t think that’s a big deal at all
I85Hokie • 11/01/24 10:26 AM ET
You can't just compare us to schools that are massively bigger enrollments
HokieAl • 11/01/24 09:13 AM ET
GT has 48K students? Really?
EDGEMAN • 11/01/24 04:52 PM ET
They have a massive grad student population **
HokieAl • 11/01/24 06:08 PM ET
Including a ton of online students**

Great chart but I think you've entirely misunderstood what I was getting at

Pretty sure no one considers them that. Receipt inside...

Sorry, receipt here...**
Culpeper Hokie • 11/01/24 03:44 PM ET
But they sure know how to spend money

I think you have things reversed.

I'd expect a s stadium expansion if we end up in the P2. 72k minimum.

I believe the road that runs between the stadium and practice field is a
VTHokie2000 • 11/01/24 04:43 PM ET
Would that add another 8K seats over what's there now?
EDGEMAN • 11/01/24 06:10 AM ET
I'm not sure why VT would do this.
Baltimore_Hokie • 10/31/24 05:16 PM ET
Yeah, funnel THAT $ into NIL**
ombandit • 10/31/24 11:27 PM ET
Way down the list of expansion priorities.

A couple of things here from "Whit' perspective
1947Sunbowl • 10/31/24 03:26 PM ET
Whit isn’t the only one, just about all if not all r going towards premium
Stech • 11/01/24 09:22 AM ET
Actually I heard UVA is in non-public study on premium seating
1947Sunbowl • 11/01/24 03:14 PM ET

Not a fantasy, but not guaranteed either, my bet is So end zone like No end

oh BTW in regards closing in the corners, I heard Lane has some code issues

yes I remember that too. temp bleachers n the gaps

Even if we get into the P2, I still think the current capacity
RVAHokie05 • 10/31/24 01:37 PM ET
stadium expansions are a LOT less important then they were 10, 20, 30 years
Vippie1 • 10/31/24 04:33 PM ET
yeah, if anything, they'll try and find a way for more premium seating.**
reestuart • 10/31/24 02:02 PM ET
make the seats MORE comfortable and double the cost per ticket
