I'm part of a private group that is assessing the situation going on with Great Bridge's Colon L. Hall Stadium. The stadium was once the jewel of the city boasting attendance records of 18k plus in the 60s and 70s. After decades of poor up keep and growth in the city the stadium has falling in disrepair and is just a shell of what it once was with about 3k to 5k seats. The team now works and showers out of portable trailers littered around the stadium. We have received a verbal estimate of about 8 million for a replacement stadium for 5k seats, the city has stated their estimates are in the 9 to 10 million range of the same.

My take away with our new stadium at ODU is 5,000 seats will cost about 8 to 10 million.

That is $2,000 per seat. So if If we have $55,000,000 to spend, that gets me 27,500 seats. Ill take that for Phase I.
