ODU will make a presentation to the appropriate committee in Richmond on our current plans for the stadium and how we will pay for it. They will approve (at least everyone believes it will be easily approved) and we will be given permission to put the stadium build out for bids. Next legislative session (2018) we will go back with the best bid, again show we can pay for it and get the approval to go ahead with construction. The construction phase should start after our last home game in 2018 and be ready for the 1st home game in 2019.

If we are only now putting it out for bid, how did they come up with the $55 million price? I have always been suspicious that phase one could be built for that cost.
