Nothing major, just my group usually bumps up our donations in a reseating year (as do most). I'll reach out and see what they say.

Side note: A buddy in my group just pledged $50k toward the stadium. That got him a plaque on a locker which he didn't want; so he was able to talk his way into a plaque on one of the trophy display cases. Seems a bit rich to me to be asking $50k for your name on a locker that no one will ever see (for those that want it to be seen). Heck, if they had the option, I'd donate $1k to have my name over a urinal... "This urinal proudly brought to you buy.....", but seems like they'd want about $50k+ for that public display.

They should have one big plaque with 500-1000 small names on it. Anyone who gives $1000 or more gets their name on it and its placed somewhere on the concourse or right outside of the stadium. How nice for students or future students to be able to go to a game and point to the plaque and see their grandparents or parents name up there. Thats how people will feel ownership of the program. And a good way to raise $1 million bucks without taking up a lot of real estate. Outside of the Raven's stadium there is a nice sign with the names of the original PSL purchasers that made the stadium happen. ODU should (or should have by now) done something similar.

That's what the brick program is for.

From what I can tell, the brick program has only been discussed on this board. Not from anyone associated with the school. If they were going to do that right, they would have started about a year ago. Maybe they've reached out to higher level donors than me?

After reading about it here, I reached out to my ODAF contact and verified it is in the works and should be rolled out in the beginning of November. They're still working out all the details but the cost will be between $200 to $600. I'm guessing that widespread range is due to them offering two types/sizes of bricks but didn't ask for any more information after that.
