Excellent!
ODH!!!


Now...
Is that an immortalized bronze statue of Blaine Taylor up there on the 2nd floor? ... of him sidled up to the bar?

Is that going to be the actual design of the building? In that article, ODU said they are hiring a design firm. And yeah I think I see a hint of Blaine's mustache in that pic.

I definitely see the light-colored, tan sport coat and dark pants. If they used the Mustache, it could be modeled from his "glory years" with us.

Great news! This will help the basketball program immensely

Great news!

Aim High * Hail Old Dominion * Go Monarchs

I see black marks on the wall from the hair dye in a can.

I hope this helps recruiting and landing the cusa tournament which in turn will help recruiting.

I feel like ODU accelerated the construction for this cause of the last few games and recruiting problems. I wonder if it will be ready by next fall. But I have a feeling it will be ready in the Fall of 2016.

Not going to be ready next fall; 2015 maybe. just having architect's rendering for staff to bring into recruit's home should definitely help in the short term

I would think you'd need a piece of steel or concrete in the ground to sway recruits.
