I think the new stadium should be built to just fit our average attendance based on the last 7 years, then the stadium would look full all the time!!!

I disagree completely. I think we should build it based not on how many fans we actually draw but how many fans a school of our size, with the size of our alumni base, the size of the metropolitan area we live in, and the opponents we might/hypothetically/maybe bring in should we build a stadium large enough for their large contingent of visiting fans. I think we should do this because anyone who knows anything about anything knows that if you want to fix a problem it's best not to look for the sensible short-term solution but much better to look for the hyper expensive pie in the sky alternative regardless of whether it prevents you from doing something about the problem for an additional decade because of cost prohibitions.

I like Fouts. I know it's not the best place to play a or watch a football game, but if you think about it, It's been a tradition since 1952.

I can't do this.....

I tried to pretend like I like Fouts, but i just can't. I can't wait to see Fouts as a pile of busted concrete and steel.

I think he was being sarcastic...although I do agree with you. It is like "Dressing for Success"...or "dressing" for the job you want, not the job you already have.

Wow, I don't know what I was thinking I do like your plan better!

well, we're gonna need a donor. Can we get them to a practice? Nothing wrong with showing them our product.

We'll probably need a couple mil just to do a feasibility study. crazy.

Thats crazy talk Papa Todd said practice is closed.

This thread proves that you can always get stadium talk to stick.

At first I really didn't think this thread would live. But now, I see it has made it to page two.

Quoner is a genius!

And to think in college I had to be drunk to talk about that same thing over and over again. Now I just have to be at work.

That's funny. But so true!

On a more serious note, I just got back from a cross country car trip up through the Midwest and back down the Eastern Seaboard. We stopped and toured a lot of schools and stadiums including still 1AA WKU. I wasn't very impressed with WKU's Bowling Green campus, but the double decker eastern side of their stadium was pretty impressive. Now they picked up close to 40 million to renovate the west side along with the endzones. If little Western Kentucky in little old Bowling Green can do it, why the hell can't we? Pretty depressing. Also, I was very impressed with Louisville's new Papa John's Stadium down the road from WKU. It's amazing what a little success can do for you.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      100% agree and it's a damn shame that the TWO MOST UNIQUE/ICONIC things that we have are barely used to market our product. ICON - Noun 1) special design or visual object representing a quality, type, group, etc.

      Back to the Frisco Bowl Again🤮🤮

      Yeah…I’ve seen us in a few different bowl predictions. Not sure it means too much as of right now. Us and UTSA still need one more win.

      A rematch of nUTSAk and TXST in New Mexico seems unlikely to me.

      We’d Love To Have You

      Construction is finished inside. You can jog laps around the whole concourse to help burn off the calories from the poor quality bad chicken tenders. During preseason games they had all the concessions open and even a full bar concession near the NT Blvd side baseline. To be honest they probably popped all the popcorn during the first game a few weeks ago and will slowly serve it to all of us suckers the rest of the season. And the best food they had, the jambalaya, hasn't been seen in probably 4 seasons. But it's only a 2hr game. Stick a QT taquito in your coat pocket and bring it along if you want "gourmet" concession food. Also, I don't live in Denton and I make pretty much every home basketball game, even during the week. When my office was in Plano you could leave at 6pm and be parked by 6:50. I now leave downtown Dallas, pickup the wife in Plano and head to Denton and still make 7p. And I usually just walk out to the parking garage at 5pm to accomplish all that. If you're looking for better excuses just say the Super Pit seats are uncomfortable.
