But Wayne Smith, athletic capital campaign executive director, and Athletic Director Terry Holland both predicted it should actually take only two or three years. Wayne Smith said the fundraising campaign already has raised millions of dollars. Specific numbers are not available, however, until the Board of Visitors ' Nov. 7-8 meeting. The majority of doners are University alumni, some of whom are former Cavalier football players, he said. Regardless of where the money is coming from, the donations seem to be arriving quickly.
People are very excited.
They are committing not only in a financial way, but they are also donating their time and volunteering their services. Holland said the athletic department intentionally got a slow start with the fundraising, but now expects strong support throughout the University. The company will begin a seating analysis, which will tell constructors how many luxury seats and boxes should be built, next week and should be finished in the next six weeks.
