Harry wrote an article last week and noted that this arena wouldnt fulfill the requirements for a pro team. So, don't even bother getting your hopes up. It may be good enough to get an arena team but nothing more.

I have heard that arena football is a definite possibility!!!
I would love that

The Nighthawks lasted 4 years, in a place much easier to get to (though not as nice) would this be that much different?

Could this pave the way for a conference tourney bid for VB/Norfolk?

Also, would this mean we can now bulldoze Scope and move the Admirals to the Beach? Do we really need Scope, Echols Hall, and the Ted within 5 miles of each other anyhow?

ADP just set up shop in downtown Norfolk and they're a major fortune 500 company. So far as I know they're not sponsoring anything locally yet so if I were they arena developers that's the first place I'd go.

This is exactly why ODUSP is concerned.
