Sounds like it's small, but will definitely keep them competitive with G5 schools. Seems like their facilities will equal or better many FBS teams for the near future. Guess the extra student fee money from FCS is paying off.

I don't know but I expect JMU gained approval via being creative and describing the building as multi-use i.e. it's not a football facility even though it is a football facility. Charlie King is a master at getting buildings built.

Construction can only begin after design complies with all official Virginia State rest stop facade requirements.

the way things are going for you, that rest stop will have more seats in it than your "upgraded" stadium.

Lol do you really wanna go there? I'll just say more than 20K or whatever the "sell out" number is at foreman field - regular season alone it was 24K and then add an additional 3 home playoff games and we did well in concessions - donor $ goes up when we win games
