aranderson said:Back to improvements I have always thought that enclosing both endzones by connecting and wrapping the bottom decks around and leaving a sweet tunnel for them to run through while touching the statue. I don't mean for a significant capacity increase either a simple 6000 to 8000 seats. Air Force sure as heck don't fill there's all the time, only about 50-60% on most occasions. Colorado doesn't fill their stadium to capacity either and countless other schools. Expand to 35,000-40,000 and I'd be happy. May not fill it all the time but just maybe the tool itself would lend a hand to a better on the field product and increase its attraction ten fold. Everyone would be surprised I believe.
Now understanding the argument for "we don't fill the one we have!". We may not fill it every game but the ones we do fill for guess what! Those extra 6 or 8 thousand seats would be put to use and somewhat make up for the potential 13,000 attendance game. You also know that people will want to come to see the stadium as well. Make it an attractive venue and people will also come as with a good product on the field. Cpnversley as someone stated earlier a nice stadium and attractive one also attracts recruits. So it may seem silly but it is definitely not something that should be continually overlooked.
As for losing seats due to renovations that's fine but the idots that are continually doing so and not making up the difference else where is just plain stupid.
This was my argument for why we should not take out 1/3 of the seats in the A-A.
