Thank RV, that is not us!

I am in a commercial retail real estate office in Dallas, I get to hear lots of rumors about projects such as this and more times than not they happen. I have heard a 40,000 seat stadium several times now. But when TD said it on radio the other day it was nice. Some of the rumors said that is what TD was saying before the radio show. To me it was like a conformation of sorts. Justification can be made simply from projected growth in the area and the growth in the school. The Rayzor Ranch development is not based on the past but future projections that is how it is usually done. A large stadium does not have to sell out all the time to make the mark, if we can average 28,000 - 30,000 in a 40,000 - 45,000 seat stadium at first we would be doing fine. We would have some room to grow into it. And for using Fouts as a model has several inherent flaws, mostly who wants to sit in those metal bleachers they added on, which makes Fouts effectively a 20,000 seat stadium. Thats not considering the track, the seats, the bathroom, etc. And the Denton Area has some pretty crazy growth projections for the next 5 - 10 years. Plus those things in the works but can not be publicly disclosed yet, really sparked my ears the most. Over promising can make you look bad, in RV's case under promising can make you look really good.

That is wonderful conjecture, but do you know something the rest of us don't? Dodge keeps saying we will open the 2010 season in a 35,000 - 40,000 stadium. He said there are things in the works that can not be publicly released yet. I would personally would like to see 40,000-45,000 just based on the projected size of the school by 2012 - 2015 and the potential fan-base that I believe Dodge can tap. As far a money it can just about materialize out of thin air, with a couple of ifs, like winning, good promotion, maybe a conference shift. But I don't really know I just have high expectations.

Man, tears are welling up in my eyes. That is...is....just like old times.

My favorite was the dominating sack of DD by RV, followed by the awesome recovery of TD to lead us forward.

I am so glad RV traded DD in on Dodge! Man I get so exited every time I hear TD talk. TD has already done so much for raising the expectations at North Texas it is not even funny. I remember when PMG and several other would continually rant about raising our expectations and many would just about call them crazy. Now that is part of the landscape thanks to TD. The promoting TD is doing is almost ridiculous to what I have ever seen at UNT. Man I truly believe he is going to make UNT the Metoplex's Team. Just in the last three days what we have seen or heard, 1st the TD show Monday night, 2nd the press conference, 3rd the 10 - 15 minutes he spent on the ESPN radio this afternoon. And he is just getting started. WOW! Plus the insert in the DCR. Plus who knows what else he has done. That is just in 2 1/2 days. If I was OU I would be getting a little nervous!

Brett Vito did one hell of a job. That is pretty cool!

I think there used to be a link pinned, you can book mark I believe. Pinned Chat link would be nice.

I would be glad to.

Didn't that make your heart skip a beat!

seems to be playing for me. with no membership.

I don't know how you quantify Coach Dodge's media impact so far, but I would think 1.5 million may cover the Texas market. Nationwide coverage that we have received I would think is much more. And even at that I am not sure you could ever buy that kind of press.

(Click here) OK, up to date so far, keep them coming it is starting to fill in. Make sure to fully enlarge the photo after it downloads so you can clearly read all the names on the stadium seats.

Fully updated, let me know if you want any changes. Make sure to fully enlarge the photo after it downloads so you can clearly read all the names on the stadium seats. Thanks guys
