I hope they don't invest any money in a stadium rennovation at this time. Would be better off spending the money on coaching and recruiting with winning, the money should follow. The buzz is gone.

2017 ODU total attendance;
Football - 120,708
Basketball - 98,590

2017 ODU total home games;
Football - 6
Basketball - 15

Well, yeah, it has been 7 years since we have had an NCAA basketball team and there is no buzz there so we aren't exactly a basketball school right now either.

Of course we don't have real "butts in seats" data, and you can feel free to argue otherwise, but actual football attendence has been plummeting for several years. I know it, you know it, everyone here knows it.

Disingenuous. The lack of butts in seats didnt happen until we lost a bunch of games last season (Rice, Charlotte). WKU, UNC and FAU had good turnouts. Two of those games turned ugly fast and fans bolted.

...and we should have won that WKU game. I’m still not over the personal foul that turned the game. Worst call ever.

One of the worst calls I've seen in our stadium, and there have been a lot of those. Remember CAA refs? Every time they blew the whistle you knew they were making some Bull S up.
