The era of expansion is ancient history. AD's are concerned about filling what they have at whatever current capacity happens to be. Times are changing.

I like what UGA is doing. They put all capacity upgrades on hold. They are working on making the experience better. $15M into video and sound before last year. Took out the barricades between the concourse and seating so you can see while on the concourse. Added more concessions and bathrooms.
They plan to upgrade more premium seat, add fan zones, continue to improve wifi, and offer more to do around the campus on game days.
This is the right approach for the money at this time, IMO. Make the 95,000+ happy today and keep them coming, bringing their kids, etc. We have a large waiting list for season tickets for alumni and we should definitely keep it that way.

What are you talking about? We just went over 100k.
We don't have the same problem as 99% of programs though as our student and young alumni participation is off the map. If anything the expansion ensured a lack of a generational gap in the stadium.
