I don't think attendance will grow much, if any.
Ticket prices where they are. 70" TVs are the norm. Surround sound in homes. More angles to see plays. I just don't see Arkansas drawing 80k on the regular for games.
So.....having said that....we still need the north end bowled in to help with holding crowd noise in.
Expansion is going to happen...I've heard within two years...they're getting ready now to expand Razorback Road as we speak...
I would suggest creating a new concourse in the north end zone, taking seats down from atop south end zone and planting 2k outdoor club and then 2k bleacher seats above those...this still keeps a sold out stadium at 76k, which we do hit for big games, but could also allow for more standing room only tickets to be sold...
I never have sat in the NE visitor area, nor have I ever sat in section 107, but I would imagine those folks would greatly appreciate a food court closer to them than the south concourse area....

if the team is going to finish at least a couple of games over .500 then the stadium will be basically full or at least the tickets will be sold.
Right now though the game experience at home is often better than at the stadium.

All seats become chairbacks except the student section.
Bowl the north end. Keep capacity around 70k.

Tickets are still cheap, our neighbors to the west pay far more to sit on their hands and say "boomer" a few times a game...

Chair backs for everyone except student section would be great. Expand north endzone into a bowl. Seats on top of the Broyles complex would increase capacity but idk if it would be a good look. Getting rid of those ugly green bleachers on top of the south endzone and putting in 2k outdoor club/bleacher seats would be nice as well.

Need more stripper poles, mirrors and water features.

expansion won't get us more butts in the seats we need to start winning again before we expand or we'll have giant empty sections and need to raise ticket prices to cover the expansion thus reducing attendance a little more.

Based on the games I've been too, I think we could sell out an 85k stadium easily during an above .500 year. I agree about the chairbacks.

Outdoor Club with 2k seats in the north endzone and make all the seats chairbacks with the exception of the student section.
