No way. I could see 80k, but even that is pushing it. I would prefer to leave as is. I hope to never see 50k people in a 90k stadium when Arkansas hits some down years. By down years, I'm talking like a 5-10 year period of no 10+ win seasons and a handful of losing seasons that makes the fanbase apathetic, not something like 2012-2013.

No. But at least ya'll came up with something other than "tsip" to refer to your big brother. Keep up the good work.

Need to work on filling up that 72,000 first. There is absolutely no indicator that shows they will be able to fill 90k.

After about 20 some-odd years of fans bitching about the bat shite, TAMU reacted by tearing it all down and starting over again.

I am curious as to how in the hell they are going to cram more stadium into that small space.

I don't agree with this move, 90,000 is Rather have a tight ticket at 70,000 with a crazy atmosphere than begin like Vols basketball Also, think they over built bud walton. Ideal capacity is 70-75 for football and maybe 15 for basketball.

The fans don't bitch about that, silly; like other things TAMU-related, tSECr turned it into something it isn't.
The stadium expansion was intended to occur in phases.
Starting all over is not an accurate characterization.
But describe it however you will; I think Kyle Field is magnificent.


Eta: hope it works out, Arkansas. Stadium work/expansion is good stuff.

I wonder how many of that "90K" will be standing room only...I think the renderings showed a pretty huge concourse "over the broyles center" that would be SRO. Can't remember.

This will be interesting. I sure wish we didn't play in Dallas so I could visit Fayetteville again

Following the tamu model of expanding capacity despite a glaring lack of results on the field. Nicely done.


So you can't upgrade facilities unless you're winning? Gotta have money to get money. If you build it, they will come.

I think 80,000 is perfect for SC. I would much rather see us do what we are doing now... The plaza, adding suites and eventually redoing the exterior of WillyB..
