On how they sellout their stadium. A lot of us are worried that we will not consistently fill VHS once it reaches 70k but our in state brethren seem to have a strategy that may work for us.

When we sellout of season tickets we sell a little over 43k season tickets to our fans. When they sellout they sell 33,300 to their fans. Both totals dont include students.

Our stadium holds 60k and theirs holds 55k. They are selling out of season tickets with 5k less seats but selling 10k less tickets. Using their strategy we should be able to create 5k more fans in our stands. They do sell more student tickets but their student body is only a shade over 1100 more than what we have on campus in Oxford and by the time VHS is bowled in we will pass them up.

I think once the CGA's are done and we expand our student section, 65k right now wouldn't be a problem. Freeze keeping us in the right direction and in 4-5 years when VHS is expanded 70k, it shouldn't be a problem then either. Just a thought.

Also... Can anyone else figure out where this 70k estimate comes from? Back before we bowled in the SEZ our stadium held 54k. So we added 6k with that expansion yet when we do they exact same expansion we will add 10k? Not only that but the bleachers in the SEZ were smaller than the NEZ's therefore there was more to add with that expansion than with our future expansion.

Long story short, we should have no problem selling out the Vaught once it is bowled in

I don't think we will have any big issues filling the stadium as long as we don't return to '11 form

Actually the SEZ added 10,000 seats. We were right around the 50k mark before that expansion. Adding a NEZ identical would be another 10k seats. Making it 70k. That is adding suites.
