What's this?

Oh wait... I just realized that SWEET vt logo might be a HUGE screen.

and in that case, I guess we might need it. a screen like that woudl be pretty sweet.

Ideally, I wanted that end consourse, AND a hanging 4-sided screen in the middle. I woudl have hung it by making a steel arch-truss that was on the OUTSIDE of the building, following the curve of the existing arches, and then that supported the weight of the screen in the middle.

Cassell looking at a $75M renovation. New digs look nice -- hoosnowahokie 04/20/2021 10:18AM

Really glad that they want to lose the “giant spider from Mars” look** -- Hokiestud 04/20/2021 2:13PM

I am glad they are renovating vs. a new arena. Looks great! ** -- VT-ACC 04/20/2021 12:09PM

I'm betting this is going to reduce capacity... -- Culpeper Hokie 04/20/2021 11:51AM

Yes. probably 8500-8700 vs. 9200-9400 now ** -- Nelsonia Hokie 04/20/2021 12:10PM

I'm most excited about the Cassell renovations. It's an icon on campus -- WildTurkE 04/20/2021 10:51AM

But design eliminates scaling the building via the arches. :( ** -- BayHokie 04/20/2021 3:01PM

Do we know if there will be AC in the plan? -- HokieGuy 04/20/2021 1:49PM

I hope so. Caseel is brutally hot during graduation ceremonies -- UpperQuad 04/20/2021 4:53PM

I agree. -- RJHokie 04/20/2021 4:57PM

With all that new interior space, an HVAC upgrade has to be in the plan ** -- Cactus Jack 04/21/2021 12:14AM

It better be! Maybe in 1965 you didn't need A/C, but you will in 2025... ** -- NokieHokie 04/20/2021 5:01PM

I really wanted them to use the end of the building along Washington st. -- HokieSignGuy 04/20/2021 10:35AM

Pleasssssssssse tell me those are student seats along the sideline!! ** -- destef 04/20/2021 12:17PM

There is a concourse behind the oval video board. -- vtox1 04/20/2021 11:46PM

Yup, I eventually read that a few hours later. I really like it now. -- HokieSignGuy 04/21/2021 09:03AM
