Foreman Field opened on Oct. 3, 1936 with much fanfare, including a parade, a ribbon-cutting ceremony overseen by Virginia's governor and a low-scoring but exciting football game in which Virginia defeated William & Mary 7-0.
On Saturday, Nov. 17, more than 82 years later, the stadium will go out as it came in - with a celebration.
Old Dominion will throw a block party, pep rally and concert at Brock Commons, and then put on a fireworks display, host a reunion of players from ODU's 10 seasons of football and finish the night with an emotional turn-out-the-lights ceremony.
