clt asks our odu friends for the cost of the gold standard in indoor tennis facilities.

Talked to Mike Hill before the football game against Marshall and he mentioned there would be some sticker shock associated with the new plan. He didn't sugar coat that for sure.

This should be put towards expanding the football filedhouse, any reason we need an indoor tennis facility?

rain, of course.

To protect our tennis courts from cheap domestic beer cans thrown by lowly Marshal fans. It's not just pristine creeks that can be defiled.

HTS says CLT AD May want to consult with Marshall on how to build a nice soccer stadium. Ya know, since we’re the new flagship.

How did they get the trailer up on poles so they can see over the crowd? Does Marshall have an engineering school?

I don't think ours was any close to that when it was built in 2007.

The total cost of the facility was approximately $7 million and won the 2008 USTA/VA Tennis Facility of the Year Award

1. How do you play tennis on that?
2. How come they didn't knock down the housing community in the background.

LOL on the flip side once you complete that 20 MM facility you can take that "no one cares award" home. We finally gotten rid of that ******** Wilder and are looking forward to having a coach that understands FB and may be just may be help us take the next step. Good Luck with facility improvements though.

Is there anything else including in each of the 15,000 capacity upgrades being the 1st upgrade is 65 mil, then the 2nd one is 60 mil? Is there a scoreboard upgrade in there? 1st upgrade gets capacity to 30k, and the 2nd gets to 45k?
