http://hamptonroads.com/2009/05/100-fac ... u-football7 ODU has received 14,859 season-ticket applications for this season.
16 Parking lots for ODU games will be open four hours in advance of kickoff.
17 Beer will not be sold in the stadium. However, those with premium sideline seating, loge seating, or sky box seating will be able to buy beer and mixed drinks in the area below the game day building. During games, those on the loge level and suite levels can order from their seats.
23 ODU is immediately eligible to qualify for the FCS playoffs but must receive an at-large bid.
24 In 2011, the Monarchs will be eligible for the CAA’s automatic playoff berth, which goes to the league champion.
25 The Monarchs will employ the “spread” offense, essentially going from a shotgun snap on all plays and lining up with one running back in the backfield.
30 The playing surface at Foreman Field will be GameDay Grass 3D, produced by AstroTurf.
58 When the Monarchs take the field Sept. 5, it will have been two years, nine months and 18 days since Bobby Wilder last coached in an actual football game.
85 The new stadium lights will be three times brighter than the existing lights.
88 Expect a flyover on opening day, just before kickoff. FA-18 Hornets out of Oceana, possibly?
Pretty cool list... this list actually got me pumped for football season, even though it has nothing to do with JMU, at least until 2011
... or if those punks are actually decent and steal an at large bid from JMU within the next two seasons.
