LJVM Renovation Plans ?

[BobStackFan4Life]

I was at the Carolina game 2 sections over from the students. There may have been 100 students not in the band there. Far different from my undergrad days.

That hardly sounds like a ton. But your analysis is more believable.

Brian Neal tweeted that he called Wake Forest and Heery to get more details and the site subsequently got deleted. Either they are waiting to announce or Heery put that out there without closing a deal with Wake for them to be in charge of renovations. This would not have come out without there being some discussion about LJVM renovations imo, so theres that.

 

[Deacsfan27]

That could be a pretty big breech of a contract by Heery if they put that up before Wake gave it the green light.

This is a horrible, horrible idea. We are doubling down on a disaster. We need to scrap it, start over with a properly designed stadium with seating capacity somewhere between the last 2 national champions (6500 & 9300 respectively)

Most likely Wake wants to control the messaging/announcement of the renovations.

That's what I'm thinking likely happened. How quickly it got taken down after the questioning seems to infer something not approved happened.

Oh that's definitely it, but I would be surprised if there wasn't something in the contract/understanding that nothing would be posted until Wake unveiled it.

Where? With what money?

Didn't the site say that seating could get down to ~9k?

I've had a bad few days with spelling of words.

The guy with whom I went to the UNC game has a freshman at Wake. He said there was some sort of sorority council, or perhaps individual sorority meeting scheduled during the UNC game. We were shaking our heads.

 

[Deacsfan27]

Where? With what money?

The money we get from selling the Joel BACK to Winston-Salem and generating a profit there obviously.

Placed where?

The location is irrelevant. Would love it on or near campus but the big picture here is a proper design and size for us. Putting lipstick on that footprint won't do. The size of the building sucks the noise right out. I have been to 141 different college arenas. The Joel is the single worst building imaginable for our size fan base.

The is not close to the truth. If you want photographic evidence then go here http://www.wakeforestsports.com/view.gal?id=201148 and look at two pics - the overhead view during the national anthem which shows the full lower level student sections, and the second half pic of Childress making the and1 layup, which shows the upper level student sections. At the start of the game both the lower and upper level student sections were full. Some students left at halftime, which left openings in the top 10 rows or so of the upper deck. There have been some games this year with very poor student turnout, but the UNC game certainly was not one of them.
