A $70 million brand new stadium on a constrained budget for a fanbase that averages 15k per game? Yes, total no-brainer
You're being VERY generous.

Well Tulane just built a new stadium and they went from around a 1000ppl at a game to averaging around 25k and their team this year is horrible. Vandy could probably hang 50 on them they are that bad.

And here's the real question. Even if they were to get a new stadium, where are they going to get their fans from? Do you think people who have been Bama or Auburn fans are going to suddenly become UAB fans because they have a new stadium? Sorry, in this time of both teams being powerhouses, nobody's switching. UAB is always going to be UAB and nobody but is going to care.
