To bad I didn't win the lottery when it got to near billion $.

They're working hard to make it happen.
TheFacts • 03/30/26 08:10 PM ET
I expect them to have half a brain. Reserve the rooms

If only it was that easy.**
TheFacts • 03/31/26 08:28 AM ET
It is. Just do it. Other schools manage, but poor ol' VT just can't do it.

I expect them to do their job and make it happen.
RVAHokie05 • 03/30/26 11:23 PM ET
Ok, what obligation won't we be able to fill? What happened to our stadium

Hotels. It’s graduation weekend
hokiepro • 03/30/26 06:29 PM ET
Well, a lot of those rooms have been booked for about 18 months
RJHokie • 03/30/26 06:44 PM ET
If I were AD for a day….ok for longer as this would take work…
hokiepro • 03/30/26 07:44 PM ET
I don't think you understand how challenging aligning all those groups is.
TheFacts • 03/30/26 08:13 PM ET
Interesting ideas.......

Let me take a guess at that one. Never?**

hokiepro • 03/30/26 04:56 PM ET
No hotel would let you reserve without paying.
TheFacts • 03/30/26 08:11 PM ET
We can park a bunch of double-wides on Chicken Hill for everyone to stay in**
UpperQuad • 03/30/26 06:24 PM ET

IB4TECH • 03/30/26 05:44 PM ET
I think you have an excellent idea.
VTChip • 03/30/26 05:30 PM ET
First thing we should do is remove/replace those trailers.
carhokies • 03/30/26 10:26 PM ET
I’d say a nice press box and covered stands for shading the fans from sun
hokiepro • 03/30/26 07:49 PM ET
Be sure to include the Taj Mahal of entrance gates because
RJHokie • 03/30/26 07:07 PM ET
EXACTLY - it doesn't need to be some over-the-top behemoth
RVAHokie05 • 03/30/26 07:04 PM ET
Well the first step would be to have some designs proposed and estimates
IB4TECH • 03/30/26 05:42 PM ET
I believe they allocated funds for that a few years ago and 💩
RJHokie • 03/30/26 07:12 PM ET
Not cutting slack on that comment. Good. See you this weekend.**
william floyd • 03/30/26 07:38 PM ET
Yes, and then go from that. **
william floyd • 03/30/26 05:46 PM ET
I am all for a renovated stadium for the team. It does not have to be the

Don't bet your house on that thought.**

If he cannot work it out then he needs to be fired for reason. No excuse. **
Hokie_Forester • 03/30/26 05:09 PM ET
Yeah, it's unfortunate. It's always about economics.
nkhooch • 03/30/26 03:56 PM ET
Do we have at least decent practice facilities for softball?**
Hokie_Forester • 03/30/26 05:18 PM ET
We are VERY blessed in that area
VTChip • 03/30/26 05:50 PM ET

If they picked Scott over Lane then they lose all credibility. Not saying
Hokie_Forester • 03/30/26 05:20 PM ET
I think they classified Scott as a library. I'd have to agree with that one**
