Definitely! A stadium = image. For colleges, athletic events and on-campus facilities, mainly football and basketball, are a big part of their marketing image and tour package. After seeing the brochures my college age kids got in the mail and visiting several major campuses, I can tell you the sell job includes Football and Stadiums. Most literature includes photos of laughing college kids in the stands at a game or the marching band performing at halftime....in the football stadium.

Yes! That would be awesome.

Yes, but not as much as a new stadium and a "winning" record (more than half the games played) and a bowl game

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yes I think a new stadium does a lot for many of the alumni, and shows that the school has fully committed to football program. Several new wallets will crack open when a new stadium starts taking shape.

I find it interesting in the video they mention the students contribution to the stadium..... i.e. student fees.
