W&M to play an ACC team each year.

[Tribe4SF]

Announced at the Football Reunion tonight that the Tribe has scheduled an ACC team each year through about 2012. Will play Maryland in 2006 and Va. Tech in 2007. Other opponents have not yet been announced.

Also announced tonight that the Jimmye Laycock Football Complex will be completed by August 2007. 30,000 square foot facility attached to the Northwest corner of Zable Stadium.

nice to see W&M step it up.....classy program.

But Ya'll are a couple years behind JMU, and we should be embarking on our next MAJOR stadium improvement by the time ya'll break ground.

JMU just completed their 10 million dollar APC....funded entirely by private donations.

Next step is bowling in the endzone, taking capacity to around 18,000-20,000.

Here is Bridgeforth as it currently looks

True, it will take us a couple years to dig up our beautiful manicured natural bermuda grass playing surface and replace it with concrete-covered astro turf like JMU. It would take six months alone just to build a four foot crown at Zable to match JMU's field :)
