Virginia football is now one of the most consistently strong programs in
the country. The George Welsh era has shown that it is possible to
establish a winning tradition while keeping an institution's values and
integrity intact. Today the Virginia football program is poised to move to
a new level of competitiveness. To help make this happen, the University
has embarked on a campaign to expand Scott Stadium to a capacity of 60,000
spectators.
On June 14, 1997, the University announced that alumnus Carl W. Smith of
Charlottesville had made the largest single monetary gift in the
University's history. However, to receive these funds the gift must be
matched dollar for
dollar with gifts and revenues from other sources. Contributions to the
Carl Smith Center Expansion Project, can be made as an unrestricted gift to
the University's Department of Athletics. As plans are finalized in 1998,
further information will be communicated. For information, please call the
VSAF office or Wayne Smith, Executive Director of the Athletic Capital
Campaign, at (804) 984-9288.
