"It was really important for us if at all feasible, to compete in our venues while we're under construction," [AD Candice] Lee said Monday. "I think number one, for all the projects that we're doing, I'm trying not to displace our student-athletes. So we're trying to be really mindful of their day to day process. And as they move between spaces, of course it's disruptive because we're choosing to be aggressive with the construction but I really wanted them to play at home if at all possible. And I also like the idea of, during games, being able to literally see the the construction coming to life."

Lee said the projects at FirstBank Stadium are on track to be completed under the university's original timeline. She said that the south end zone project, which will contain new locker rooms, a dining facility, a renovated concourse and additional premium seating, will be ready prior to the start of the 2024 football season. The north end zone project, which consists of a new basketball operations center, will be ready prior to the start of the 2024-25 basketball season.

Too bad she didn't ask about visitor locker rooms or scoreboards for this coming season...

"Vandy won't play a game in First Bank in 2023."
"Vandy will play ALL home games at FB."

That about covers it. Can we move on now?

P.S. What was Aria doing up at 5:03 this morning?

Article for subscribers only, but you could post a10-word excerpt: 5 first names and 5 last names. Don’t even need to be in order. I can piece it together.

They must have moved it because I was able to read it and I don't subscribe. From memory, one was Justin Ball at TE, another was Trudell Berry at DB. Maybe Chase Gillespie at RB?
