Newport News was an odd spot anyway.

Agreed. Still also find it odd when I drive on Patterson to see the old CAA building that I think is still used.

It still had "Colonial" on the sign when I drove by after their big name change announcement

yeah and the CAA part of the sign is so faded have wondered at times if building isn't used any more but guess it is.

I thought they moved to 2000 avenue of the stars in LA…

I wonder how many people thought the move to DC was Davidson College. /s

I know you said you liked the new logo for Davidson @SFspidur, but I sure don’t.

From one thriving metropolis to another.

Move starts in November and will be completed at the end of the academic year.

The new office is approximately 5,000 square feet and located in the National Center for Higher Education building near Dupont Circle that houses headquarters offices for The American Council on Education (ACE), and other tenants in higher education, including an NCAA satellite bureau. The showcase of the new office is a state-of-the-art advance media studio, content production, editing office and broadcast studio. The completely new space also features single and shared offices with workstations, a staff conference room and larger conference meeting spaces to conduct both virtual and in-person large meetings.

They cite the central location for driving and excellent airport connections as a major benefit, plus the new studio space.

Let’s hope the DC connection lands us more A10 tourneys at Capital One Arena and out of Barclays in Brooklyn.

Looks to be actually on Dupont Circle. Next to Bank of America & CVS. Went to both a lot between 2006-2012...

Now what is this bar named after David Robinson?

 

[Ferrum Spider]

Woulda preferred RVA. Bring back A10 football.

Now days with all of the electronic communication, Zooms, internet, X, etc. it doesn’t matter if the
A-10 office is in DC or Podunk, Idaho.

 

[KE Spider]

Probably a good move prestige wise for the conference, but if I were an employee, office commute time and traffic hassle - Newport News v DC - count me out.

wonder if they are all getting a cost of living increase 🤡

 

[SpiderK]

DC is a fitting place for the A-10.

 

[AnnapSpider]

Seriously, what difference does it make? I’d bet dLollar’s to donuts no one ever asked
where is the A-10 office? Coaches, opposing teams, recruits, who cares?

Well I suspect the people who work in the HQ care.

Maybe the employees of the A-10 have the same option as our former AD Keith Gill. You don't have to show up for work, simply give the right answer when anyone inquires about your employment.
