Probably a bad idea. Demand is dropping, a trend that will probably continue. I think it is unlikely an expansion now or recently will ever pay for itself and will just result in a lot of empty seats for all but 1-2 games a year.

One of the biggest problems I see with expansion is that the infrastructure of the campus is rarely upgraded to accomodate the increased game day population.
For many SEC locales, quite literally the stadium can house more people than the city on gameday. This lends itself to huge traffic problems, lack of restaurants, etc etc etc. I love going to games... but even with tailgating, the entire gameday experience can be wearing.
