That's pretty awesome and a perfect size for them. I honestly like what I've seen a lot of smaller programs build lately, going for nicer, smaller stadiums instead of bigger stadiums they'll rarely if ever fill. That's quite the financial endeavor for them. I'd assume their school has a healthy endowment, but that seems like more than you'd think they'd budget for their athletic department.

Judging by the artist renderings, I bet it would be louder than a lot of 60,000 and 70,000 and 80,000 seat stadiums.

They do this, but we have to delay our rebuild to our garbage stadium

Looks nice. Could still probably get loud as well when packed out.

Think I read somewhere the majority of it is being paid for by 1 megadonor.

Looks great. Like Vandy they typically get taken over by visiting fans. Fewer seats typically would mean a better crowd ratio for them

All because of the donation from Patrick and Shirley Ryan to the tune of $480 million to jump start the renovation of its current stadium.

Looks very nice.

that's insane to come from a single donor. To put that in perspective, that single donation is around what Kyle Field cost to renovate when they did that massive, more or less, rebuild. Believe that project was around $500 million
