That looks great! I went with a discount look, lol

Great idea. I'll have to figure out a way to add my ticket and button in there somehow as well.

Can you send me a link to that case please? I need to buy 2 just like it. =]

I'm still bummed that I didn't get a chance to get back down to Norfolk after football season was over for the JMU MBB game. By that time they were cleared out of all bricks when I visited the site. All those bricks look great!

As an engineer, I love this!

Concrete being poured today. Steel can't be far behind.

ODU Names Football Field for Barry Kornblau

Thank you Barry!

Very fitting!!! Thank you very much Barry! I wonder if someone else will try and top his donations?

Can I get a pronunciation guide on this... cuz it kinda sounds like something you might do at a picnic when someone says something insanely funny. Cornblow... or a violent explosion of a silo full of corn, or.....

Im just going to call it Ballard Stadium or Foreman field until I hear something better

I think the 'au' makes it 'ow' like 'sound' not 'oh' like 'hoe', but I don't know them personally and different families do different things. My surname is pronounce very differently depending on where you are in the US.

I hadn't head of the gentleman until now but I am satisfied with the naming of the field.

Maybe the new name will grow on me. Out of habit, I'll probably refer to it as Foreman Field for the rest of my life.

The "blau" rhymes with "plow"
