Minium: ODU Baseball Team's Legacy Includes an Overdue Makeover of Bud Metheny Ballpark

By Harry Minium

NORFOLK, Va. – As the 2022 Old Dominion baseball team gathered for its last team meeting at Bud Metheny Ballpark Tuesday morning, the players all walked past a poster hanging on the 43rd Street side of the stadium that, whether they know it or not, will in part define the great legacy they leave behind.

Pictured on the poster is a rendering of how a proposed, $20 million makeover of The Bud will transform the facility into a first-class, comfortable place for ODU to play baseball and for fans to watch. And if it wasn't for ODU's seniors, that stadium proposal would not exist.
