ODU has 6 future home games with P5's scheduled. We have a total of 13 P5's on our future schedule. Not bad for a school that became full FBS 3 years ago. When our new stadium is completed (2019), I believe we will see many more at our home in the future.
Yes, I'm aware of ODU getting P5 games. It's very impressive, and I've commented on it before. How big is your new stadium that's getting completed by 2019 going to be?
Today ODU announced the continuation of the VA Tech series....adding 3 more home games moving our total to
9 home games with P5 programs and a total of 19 P5 games in the future.
The Hokies and the Monarchs are set to meet for the first time on September 23, 2017 in Lane Stadium.
The six-game series kicks off in Blacksburg in 2026, alternating venues over the next five seasons.

The new stadium will open in 2019 at 22,500 expandable to 30K with a Phase II. Beyond that it sounds like it will be expandable to 35K, from what I understand. I think that will also happen very quickly. ODU is on the brink of selling out this years allotted 17,000 season tickets for 2017. We always give 2,000 for visiting teams, and the remaining for students. Just as in years past we will continue to sell out every game played at SB Ballard now and in the future.
