It's time for @VT Chip and us fans to start fundraising for a better TSP

VT sure as hell doesn't seem capable of the vision required or foresight. Our program has deserved stadium improvements for many years now. I've already shown what hoova, Liberty, did years ago. Meanwhile we operate out of shipping container press boxes and bringing in aluminum HS bleachers when or if hosting. Does this not bother the AD or ANYBODY in VT leadership???? I mean, if I'm the AD, I'm looking at what our peer conference members have, looking at videos and plans the "enemy" is working on and comparing contrasting to our own house. Then doing gap analysis to determine funding, getting the funding, and planning to close gaps if not leap forward. I don't get it. ** Edited by 91HokieBob at 4/16/2026, 9:34:17 AM

Very similar to UVa's stadium
VT_AD • 04/16/26 03:00 PM ET
That is a nice stadium. Wish I had a loose $50M to give to Hokie Softball.**
HOKIE SEAN • 04/16/26 11:34 AM ET
Now we just need to find $50 million to build one...
SarahVTHokie24 • 04/16/26 10:34 AM ET
Everything costs a 💩 load more in California……..😁**
RJHokie • 04/16/26 10:52 AM ET
True, $50 million needed, but we will not get it.

91HokieBob • 04/16/26 09:33 AM ET
Seriously doubt it happens with the Babcock regime in place. **
RJHokie • 04/16/26 09:36 AM ET
They're entrenched. Could Franklin express support for our warrior ladies?
TomTurkey • 04/16/26 09:56 AM ET
Well he's already latched on to Arthur! So he must know something. Saw a

91HokieBob • 04/16/26 01:45 PM ET
What other HCs at VT have met Arthur?**
VTHokie2000 • 04/16/26 01:17 PM ET
He sat right behind me. Told him if ever bought me a hot dog
laphroaig • 04/16/26 12:11 PM ET
So you’re saying you want Franklin to sign your weiner?!**
Brewing_Hokie • 04/16/26 12:15 PM ET

Does SB concessions serve those milkshakes?
TomTurkey • 04/16/26 12:25 PM ET
Don't think so but that reminds me - Here's a PSA for softball concessions.

TomTurkey • 04/16/26 01:52 PM ET
Wine slushies are the best slushies!**
Brewing_Hokie • 04/16/26 12:55 PM ET
Wine? Put some vodka or tequila in there. Even corn whiskey!
laphroaig • 04/16/26 12:58 PM ET
Vodka, fine. Tequila, hard pass! Don’t waste whiskey! Oh I can make you
Brewing_Hokie • 04/16/26 01:01 PM ET
You can? What's the fricken hold up? We could clean up with
laphroaig • 04/16/26 01:11 PM ET
Oh yeah! Ive got a bottle of everclear and can make slushies!
Brewing_Hokie • 04/16/26 01:23 PM ET
While focused on FB first and foremost, he's aware of symbiosis in sports.
TomTurkey • 04/16/26 10:17 AM ET
Franklin and some of his coaches and their families attended
RJHokie • 04/16/26 10:02 AM ET
A word couldn't hurt
TomTurkey • 04/16/26 10:05 AM ET
Yep, a every now and then a home run or foul ball hits Lane!**
RJHokie • 04/16/26 10:31 AM ET
Okay, but it needs to hit the AD office. Wouldn't help but would be fun.**
william floyd • 04/16/26 10:35 AM ET
Hit the AD's office win a free steak dinner (Bull Durham reference)**
VTHokie2000 • 04/16/26 01:20 PM ET
That would really be a long shot!**
RJHokie • 04/16/26 10:44 AM ET
BOOOOMMMM!!!**

TomTurkey • 04/16/26 10:18 AM ET
RJ, my friend, you know it will not take place with Babs as the AD.
william floyd • 04/16/26 09:44 AM ET
SIGH**
laphroaig • 04/16/26 08:59 AM ET
Our dream! At least its 3000 miles away from most ACC teams!
U2Hokie • 04/16/26 08:04 AM ET
Wow, yes that is a real concern. That is a very nice facility.**
william floyd • 04/16/26 07:55 AM ET
WOW — very impressive!**
TomA • 04/16/26 07:51 AM ET
I wonder if they charge 🤔 **
HokieAvalanche • 04/16/26 07:47 AM ET
Behind the plate $50, next section over $29, direct from Stanford
VTChip • 04/16/26 08:17 AM ET
Probably 60% of those prices are taxes in CA**
hokiepro • 04/16/26 04:25 PM ET
Everything is higher in California. Heard it on the news - not Huey Lewis.**
