A good idea. The build it and they will come deal doesn't work anymore, you have to be creative. I would like to see Apogee have a faster internet signal and think that would be a reasonable starting point given the name of the stadium..

Am I missing something? Is there free WiFi at Apogee?

They have one the largest enrollments in the country, have a very good record, and play teams people have heard of every week, yet they averaged 37,795, which included 45k for BYU.

Here's your problem, no beachfront, lakefront, or oceanfront property, nor Fiesta Bowl win can fix--their conference home schedule this year was SMU, Tulane, Temple, and Tulsa. Nobody wants to see those teams play when they are bad--and those teams NEVER have any decent traveling group to help your attendance. Eventually, this realization will catch on. SMU may only bring a few hundred fans here for a game--how many do you think they bring to Orlando, especially when they are terrible? UNT fans want to see us beat SMU or Tulsa--UCF fans don't. But UCF fans might be more inclined to watch them beat FIU/FAU than they are Tulane or Temple. Regional conferences are just crazy that way, huh? Imagine that--a Texas team like UNT might actually care about beating SMU or UH more than we do about beating Middle Tennessee or Western Kentucky...and maybe, just maybe, Marshall fans care alot more about beating WKU and MUTS than they do about beating SMU or Tulane, since they actually know ppeople who went to those schools and can travel to watch them play in a number above 100...

One day, folks, one day...the G5s may get dragged by their teeth to this realization, but eventually regionalized FCS-like conference are going to come back in vogue for this level of college football.

This is a terrible idea.

Can you imagine how pissed the people below are going to be when some punk kid throws sand over the side?
