Hopefully never. I like the stadium capacity where it is. Like plenty of others have already stated, we have trouble selling out the current capacity. I'm not an architect, but I have a hard time seeing how upper decks could be added in a nice and seamless way.

I think the stadium just needs a facelift and that is it.

I feel like I read somewhere were they have sold out their stadium every year for several years now, unless I am mistaken.


Yes they do boast a sellout streak, but I dont think they have ever qualified as to the exact number they are refering to. And sellout doesnt always mean full to capacity or every seat available was sold or filled.

Like I said up until 2010 we actually sold more season tickets than them by several thousand. However, we do not sell all season tickets available, but almost. However, they do sell all season tickets made available. The number is around 60k

Back when we were kicking arse, I wanted us to get up to or close to 100k. Now, we have WAY bigger problems to deal with.

Like someone else said, I long for the days when we were swinging our dicks about having one of the largest on-campus stadiums. Now, thanks to the problems on the field, we can't even fill what we have.

When will our fairweather fans sell out the stadium for an entire season?


Must note that I do not go to games. I refused to go until they stop playing Living on a Prayer.

Fisrt thing it needs is a second scoreboard. Only Jay Jacobs could go from having the first HD screen to having the worst in the conference in 3 years. Its the Gene Chizik of scoreboards.

I almost posted that. That thing is hideously outdated.
