I do not expect to have a Phase lol anything time soon.
Betting 10 years if at all.
Maybe a couple of upgrades here and there but no major Phase ll for a long time.

I agree that we're about ten years away from the complete Foreman experience, but I still think Phase II will be split into two separate phases. By the looks of the new renderings, we're getting an upper deck on both sides in the first phase. I'm nowhere near a construction/engineering expert, but I'm thinking ODU can tear down the end zone seats and construct the lower level to be a connecting lower-level bowl. Phase III can add/connect the second level and address any other missing elements (e.g., the coveted big video screen atop the Gameday Building) the first two phases missed.

If my theory plays out, Phase II could happen in five years.

Ya, I could see 10 years. Maybe sooner or later a bit. But that's a good goal to have.

Butts in the stands might have an impact on it. If attendance falls they might not see a need for a phase II. NOW, if they really sell out every game and someone comes up with a lot of cabbage it could happen sooner. Just my 2 cents.
