Any questions about ODU?

No questions from me yet but it looks like y'all have had a very good FCS program and should field a respectable, if not very successful, FBS program. Old Dominion kind of reminds me of the Marshall story. They too were a very successful FCS program before entering the FBS ranks. They surprised a lot of folk early on and had great success. Recent years have not been so great for Marshall but that happens when you become more well known and your coach either retires (as was the case with Marshall) or leaves for a more prestigious programs. Success does that to a program.

I wish you guys success and will be interested to know how you fair in your first year as a FBS program - not at our expense, of course.

I take back my comment about not having any questions. Since this is currently a heated debate here, how much does Old Dominion charge for football tickets? Does Old Dominion charge for parking?

I certainly hope we can replicate Marshall's early success (and sustain it!). Thanks for your well wishes.

ODU does not charge for parking. There are free parking garages about 3/4 of mile from Foreman Field, and plenty of street parking near the stadium. The closer parking lots (tailgating lots) and the closest two parking garages are available for people that give lots of $$$$.

Ticket prices are $26, I think. For the best seats the prices increase and most of the season ticket holders give money to the athletic foundation for the opportunity to buy tickets (ODU has around a 10K waiting list for tickets). I'm not the best expert on ticket prices because I am a current ODU student and student tickets are free.
