LU has a good strong fans base but not as large as JMU, a one-year playoff appearance and no FCS championships, LU's facilities tops JMU's but that's not sizzle or attractive for TV.

Are you sure? Have you been in the Club at Bridgeforth Stadium?

FYI...JMU is days away from announcing and new basketball arena that is off the hook.

Anyways...LU should bring a lot people to Rocktown for CGD. It's fun and you can maybe get a sign on ESPN.

Correct me if I am wrong. My thoughts with JMU or LU in the following:
FB - advantage to LU, stadiums comparable with maybe a slight edge to JMU, but with the indoor FB/athletic practice field, edge to LU
Basketball - New Convo at JMU to be about same size as current Vines Center which is 8,000+ for basketball, JMU athletics site says current Convo size is 6,426 http://www.jmusports.com/facilities/?id=5, edge to LU
Baseball - JMU Veterans Field seats 1,200, LU 2,500 with Luxury boxes and more, edge to LU
Softball - JMU 1,200 seating with bleachers, LU 1,000 chair back seating with full audio/video production, edge to LU

I believe in most all instances, the above facilities are newer and have updated at LU with the exception of the new Convo at JMU. Share your thoughts and correct me if I am have misstated facts. All above info was from the JMU Facilities webpage.

This image is a great representation of some of the LU facilities: http://www.seats3d.com/ncaa/liberty_univ...1475372622
