Perspective on costs for what needs to be done

UVa donor ponied up $22M for their new stadium. It's going to take something like that to get the VT facilities to where they should be for such a good product. Luckily VT players so far have looked past the stadium and considered the school, the campus, the development, and the success of VT in their decisions but to take that next step you know it would help. Look at the records at UVa before and after the stadium opened. 18-33 2016 22-32 2017 12-41 2018 22-31 2019 10-12 2020 Covid year, first year Palmer Park was opened 15-33 2021 28-26 2022 30-22 2023 34-20 2024 first Regional berth in decades. Went 2-2 in TN Regional 38-19 2025 Regional berth 31-3 2026 current

I agree with Chip, we do not need a new stadium just a good refresh. Hell

I think 750k is a reasonable amount. Split between TSL and (more)

And there it is. Money solves many problems, especially in sports. **

They should have updated the pressbox/stadium when building the indoor.

I agree a new basketball arena or a Cassell overhaul is higher up but

A lumber press box shouldn't cost that much, even with some amenities.
