I heard that we received back some good responses for the RFP that was sent out. Does anyone have any information? According to Keith in a podcast in December, the plan is to push capacity above 70k by adding more student seats and premium seats, primarily in the North Endzone. I really hope something is done with the West concourse. That's the worst part of the entire stadium.

If we're going to do this, I hope we can get the capacity to closer to 80k. It might suck short term if we're only getting around $72k-$75k there, but the enrollment has gone up so much the alumni base is going to jump up drastically over the next 10 years. Would rather be prepared for the demand 10-15 years from now so we don't have to talk about another expansion at that point.

If we increase the capacity to 80, State fan's heads would explode. So I'm in.

They are only concentrating on the North Endzone. I believe your 80k will be likelier to happen when we do something with the West side.

And not surprisingly, everyone in the conference would still claim that we have a high school stadium.
And people actually believe that stupid shite. Some Texas fan on Twitter thought our stadium only held around 40k and that "some high school stadiums in Texas hold more than that." The largest HS stadium is Gormley stadium in New Orleans and it only holds 26k. Idiots abound everywhere.

I guess there’s a bunch of people with a lot of money to fill those seats but with how expensive everything else in life is and the emergence of AI making jobs obsolete and things, I am leery of expanding so much.
