You do realize we had 87k+ in the stands this past weekend.....for SAM HOUSTON STATE????
Filling the stadium won't be an issue.

It will once you level out to the typical Aggie mediocrity.

What some people don't understand about A&M's projected capacity is that A&M has had a different growth trajectory than most other schools. A&M has only been a large school since really the 1970's. Enrollments at that time just started hitting 20 and 30K. In the 90's A&M consistently had enrollments of over 40K and now it is hitting over 50K. You have current classes of 8-9K replacing classes from the 40's, 50's and 60's that were only 2K+.
Instead of needing to rely on building the brand to causal fans to fill the stadium, you have a rapidly growing alumni base. That is a far more stable fanbase.
Any growth from outside the alumni base is pretty much a bonus.
