When did I ever say VT would expand Lane for 1 event?


The reference to the foreign clubs was only to refute the idea that Lane Stadium couldn't hold a sporting event that produces attendance comparable to the attendance for a football game. Nothing more. I have always maintained the idea that VT wouldn't consider expanding Lane Stadium for ANY sport until it produced a consistent demand over several years to justify the additional cost.

The only reason I went down the soccer rabbit hole is because people were questioning whether football would even exist in 20 years. If football no longer existed, then I do believe soccer is the likely candidate to fill the void in the Fall line up. At least I don't see the sports market will allow the void to go unfilled especially if colleges/universities are accepting more students who are passionate about soccer as fans today are passionate about football.
