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.

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

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