After nearly eight months of waiting, first-year Old Dominion University football coach Ricky Rahne finally gets to see his team practice Thursday at noon.
However, because of the coronavirus, it will be the longest first practice in ODU's 12 seasons.
The team will actually hold three practices a day in order to adhere to COVID-19 restrictions.
After COVID-19 cases spiked in Hampton Roads in recent weeks, Gov. Ralph Northam recently limited gatherings of any group to 50 or less. That means ODU can't have more than 50 people on the field at a time.
