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.

Awesome. And if you have 75k on campus students - wow, I had no idea. Yeah, you can give half the tickets to the 12 Man, that's definitely a plus.
If what we are hearing is correct, then the SEC bastages, in all their infinite wisdom, has SCAR coming down there in 2014. I've got a good old time friend in Katy who is promising the wife and I a "big Texas time" while we're there. We're hooking up with some other friends up in Oak Lawn in June to make plans and riding down to see Jim and his wife in Katy while there.
I'm actually half Texan, (Mother is Texas born and bred and a graduate of TWU) ... but I've never been to an A&M game. Been to Texas, been to Baylor, but never been to A&M for a game although I have been to Kyle Field on business not all that long ago.
The wife and I are both looking forward to seeing a game there when the time comes.

I highly doubt this. I know there is an initiative in the Engineering college to dramatically increase enrollment, but the faculty that will need to be hired as well as facilities that will need to be built will make 75K unlikely to happen in this time frame.
Where will A&M get the money for this? It's not like the Lege is just signing blank checks, especially for higher ed, and the PUF is not the giant fountain of money most people think it is.
