As the sun begins to set Friday night at S.B. Ballard Stadium, the turnstiles will be locked, the seats empty, the light towers off, the parking lots deserted.
That isn't the way it was supposed to be, of course.
Old Dominion University was scheduled to open its 12th football season at home against Wake Forest Friday night. It was a game everyone at ODU looked forward to with so much anticipation.
"It was going to be so much fun," Athletic Director Wood Selig said.
ODU announced last month there will be no football this season because it did not want to risk the health of players, coaches and fans during a pandemic.
