I'm wondering if ODU wanted this info made public. Let's face it, people will overreact and the next thing you know, fans are going to wonder if the stadium will be safe.

Does anyone know if ODU is still pursuing the closing of Bluestone Ave. That street needs to be closed so the stadium can be expanded well beyond 30k seats.

Harry has made it very clear in the past that the stadium will be open and operable on game one, but some finishing touches will be made weeks after. Hence, punch list work. The structural part is already done.

Per your expansion question, most renderings of expansion shows the majority of expansion on the east and north sides. Agreed closing Bluestone would be good on game days, probably not needed to be closed the other 360 days of the year though.
