The view of the $67.5 million renovation of S.B. Ballard Stadium from the second floor of the South End Zone suites is spectacular.
There are four huge cranes hoisting steel, aluminum, and precast cement. And you can’t begin to imagine how much bigger the stadium will be until you’ve seen it from this perspective.
It’s going to be a beautiful facility with modern amenities and will be intimidating for visiting teams because the stands, all 40 rows, will be right on top of the playing field.
For the first time, Old Dominion will truly play in a Football Bowl Subdivision stadium.
