Yeah I've driven by JMU on I-81 a couple times since the stadium was built and it looks bloody massive coming from the south.

our coach rarely tweets out something that doesn't have some element of "truth" behind it.

i would expect if demand is really high the next 2-3 years for tickets, we'll see the other side of our stadium done sooner rather than later. I'd expect within 5-10 years, the other side will be done.

somebody's mock up of what it might look like:

Once complete, that is going to be one awesome stadium. Is it as steep as it looks? It looks like it could give Lane Stadium a run for its money on steep upper decks.

The JMU existing upper deck is 132’ high, which I’m told is taller than Lane Stadium.

The JMU “coach speak” of 50k is very suspect. The plan has always been to “mirror” the side already built with an upper deck, and finish BFS to seat 40k.

As such, the idea that JMU doesn’t build a full upper-deck on the Godwin side of BFS would be a departure from what’s been planned and confirmed by the AD. Only time will tell tho what actually gets built, and demand for tickets, the team’s success and cost of construction will determine the final plans.
