Two things ... why the double reference to SC State? They are on your schedule in the future?
Secondly, Hyman is right. With the rise of TV coverage and big screens it is a mistake to build bigger these days. Instead you should be building more luxurious.
Michigan claims sold-out Big House, but they never do and it looks bad when they do and they claim the placed is packed and there are empty seats everywhere.
There is a huge difference between a "sold-out stadium," and a "capacity crowd."
Tennessee has not packed their place in half a decade now. Penn State, Ohio State, So Cal, all with big stadiums none of which have capacity crowds very often. Does Texas ever fill War Memorial?
So no one is saying anything but again, this goes back to the belt buckles in Texas. I would be willing to bet this is about one thing, and one thing only ... it's about having a slightly bigger belt buckle than the Longhorns. And I get that, I do ... everyone does, but it is going to look like a huge mistake if you do not fill the place.

There will be a surplus of luxury seating. We'll be overflowing with major revenue spots. They've addressed that perfectly.
Sure, there's an ego element to this. But it's more than "nanny nanny boo boo." Having one of the largest stadiums in the country lends credence to the program's perception, an achievement we've made a very deliberate effort to address.
Will it be smooth sailing from start to end? No. But we'll have 75k students in 7 years, and the program has finally picked itself up from the Fran disaster. It will be interesting.

Meh, we need nice boxes more than anything to take in that new oil money. As long as those are full or near full we are good.
