What's this?

Agree, the premium seating model would be/could be used to offset any

debt service (after a renovation). If we had something like four suites (like we have for baseball), and charged (This is just me throwing out a figure), $7500 per suite, and then had something like 12 premium tables and charged $1000 per table, that would be $42,000 per year. That is before "regular" season ticket revenue kicked in, plus single game tickets (if any). I think we would have no trouble filling those premium seating options. Then, if we could get a company for naming rights, say $2M over ten years. That would provide another $200K per year to cover debt service. Even if you negotiated $1.5M over ten years, $150K per year would take care of a lot of concerns......

But, agree softball is hot!!

Softball reserve seating will probably require facility upgrades -- RJHokie 04/27/2022 1:51PM

WRT our earlier conversation about VT possibly needing to move some things -- VTHokie2000 04/27/2022 5:27PM

Having zero on campus clue LOLI would not see or plan for English Field -- 91HokieBob 04/27/2022 7:08PM

A very reasonable strategy. One reason I suggested moving some -- VTHokie2000 04/28/2022 11:19AM

Thanks and I agree. One of the reasons I gave for demo Rector and move it/ -- 91HokieBob 04/28/2022 12:07PM

Yes, we have had multiple conversations about VT's lack of any -- VTHokie2000 04/28/2022 12:26PM

I share the same opinion, view! ** -- 91HokieBob 04/28/2022 1:33PM

Yeah, a long term, coherent, public plan really has been non-existent, even -- saret 04/28/2022 12:37PM

Based on my research of VT athletics, I would guess that problem existed -- VTHokie2000 04/28/2022 1:12PM

The AthDept is just a microcosm of the school. Charlie Phlegar has helped -- saret 04/28/2022 2:05PM
