Thank you so much for that. Really nice to see some actual design/implementation for the new arena. I really hope Ballard can pick up enough $$$ on this project so he can be kind on the ODU stadium deal. *(Yes, I know he may not get the ODU deal but...) We are going to need a stadium builder to put as much of the money as they can in on the stadium while not carrying even the usual profit margin.

Would be awesome if Ballard could find a way to build a lot more stadium (like 25,000+ seats and a new end zone and scoreboard) for the same budget.

Ballard would be in our hall of fame if he can manage to give ODU a huge bang for its buck

Agreed. Im hoping maybe this is a classic case of under promising and over delivering so they all look like heroes in the end. I guess we will see.
