Future Schedules 2.0

[bonarae]

Since there have been so many sweeping changes within the FCS since the last Future Schedules thread was created back in 2016, I have begun the process of cleaning up the lists of Future Schedules for 2028 and beyond.

I will post the 2027 schedules thread later in this calendar year.

Thanks!

Those are nice adds for the Keydets. One hour bus ride, you can bring the entire corps. I remember some good games back in the 70s, seemed like the rivalry sort of tapered off.

Hoping you bring the entire corps to Zable on 8/29.

[McCowboys]

McNeese/Tarleton game moved to week 0:

Keydets beat UVa in 1976/77/78, lost close games in 1973 & 79.

VMI's upperclassmen don't return to post until August 25th, so corps trip on a Thursday seems unlikely, IMO.

So maybe they will come to Robins Stadium in 2025 for September 20th?
Man, the days they marched into City Stadium back in the day brings back memories, very impressive.
I big plus could also be, if they came, the way Spider FB attendance has been trending, they might feel like they have home field advantage.

Even in a down year, Richmond's attendance average ranked second among all PL schools in 2023.

That would be nice, if the UR powers that be set aside 1300-1400 seats for the corps, above the number typically allotted the visiting team.

I miss the crowds of 16000+ in City stadium, including games with JMU, W&M.
