But negotiations with the Communication Workers of America - which represent workers in Virginia and other Mid-Atlantic states - have not resulted in a deal although both sides are optimistic.

[SUPER=03-Blacksburg/August 5th; :00]
Back on August 5th when the Hokies held their annual preseason media day, the north end zone bleachers were almost complete, but the new scoreboard and jumbotron were no where in sight.
[SUPER=04-August 10; ]
But five days later on August 10th, the massive poles that hold the structure were in place and the top fittings on which the jumbotron is placed were about ready for the big screen to arrive.
[SUPER=04-Yesterday;]
Now, the massive structure in in place, and it will be ready to roll next Sunday night when the Ga. Tech Yellow Jackets come to town for the BCA classic.
The jumbotron is located behind the new north end zone seating and will be clearly visible from all points inside Lane Stadium.
