On Friday, Vanderbilt University Vice Chancellor slash de facto Athletic Director (without the title) David Williams told the Tennessean’s Adam Sparks that the university plans to replace Vanderbilt Stadium, the archaic structure that has been the Commodores’ home since 1922 (with the most recent updates performed in 1981, a time period when the overriding architectural style was charitably described as “functional.)
On Saturday, Vanderbilt’s football team looked listless in a 38-7 loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
The juxtaposition between the two events could not have been more stark than it was.
