Old Dominion and Norfolk State announced Monday that their two-game football series, set to begin in 2013, will now be a six-game series. The Monarchs are slated to visit the Spartans on Sept. 14, 2013, beginning a series that will run through 2018 with three games at Norfolk State and three at ODU.

Norfolk State will first travel to ODU on Sept. 13, 2014.

“This series addresses a growing need to manage travel costs for away competition and schedule attractive, easy-to-access away games for our fans,” said ODU athletic director Dr. Wood Selig in a prepared statement. “We anticipate considerable local media and fan interest each year surrounding these football games.”..........

Still would have rather seen ODU honor the remaining three years with Georgetown, but playing Norfolk State is more cost-effective than ODU getting 500 tickets to play twice in DC.
