I've mentioned a few of these before.
1) ODU banners/flags flying from construction cranes. Maybe a big banner or something on the new ODU location downtown?
2) Plant Blue trees down Hampton Blvd. (The City should do Yellow for NSU to balance it out)
A
Jacaranda or
would grow VERY fast. Plant them next year and they will be roughly 10 feet or so by the time the stadium opens.
I had posted pics in another thread months ago, some of the trees looked purple. I can't imagine it being difficult to track down ones that look more blue though.
3) Season Ticket holders for Football and BB should get a yard sign and/or a car window sticker. It doesn't cost the school much. And it boils down to more advertising for the school. There is no reason why I as many or more yard and car stickers for other schools so close to ODU.
Walk though Colonial Place or Larchmont and I think VT and ODU are about around the same count, JMU and UVA being a close 3rd in some areas.
4) More billboards around the area. This year is the first year I've seen signs up for FB or BB.
5) More community involvement. Hold a building contest or something on an annual basis. Maybe build catapults and launch pumpkins or something into the bay. Invite all the high schools or some of the engineering/fabrication firms to compete.
6) Merge with EVMS.
