Stadiums like this are the future. People no longer want to go to a 100k seater stadium for a nosebleed seat when they can stay at home and watch their 1080p TV for a fraction of the price. To lure fans to stadiums smaller programs will have to go for quality of quantity.nice, but no match for a REAL football stadium - ie:BDS
For the most part, I agree - especially when you consider all the new TV contracts meaning that most serious football schools' games will be broadcast in HD every week. Traditional powers will still be able to draw a crowd, but the new kids will likely never be able to achieve that sort of following.Stadiums like this are the future.

YES! Yes there will be. The saligate docks will accommodate boats with similar amenities of a normal tailgate spot, tv, electricity etc. They are still working out interest on reservable docks and will have plenty of room to grow easily over the next few years.It's a good looking stadium. I wonder if they will build boat docks so fans can travel by boat and tie up next to the stadium. It's the only thing I like about Neyland Stadium, the Orange Navy.
Agree with everything. But even traditional powers are having issues keeping fans away from the large HD tv, grill with food, and beer right outside of the stadium.For the most part, I agree - especially when you consider all the new TV contracts meaning that most serious football schools' games will be broadcast in HD every week.

This explains the 7+ year waiting list at Bama :biggrin:Agree with everything. But even traditional powers are having issues keeping fans away from the large HD tv, grill with food, and beer right outside of the stadium.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes, the tickets are sold but do they stay until the band plays the final song? Or would they wander off from the stadium to their tailgate spot and watch the game live with a beer and burger in their hands.This explains the 7+ year waiting list at Bama :biggrin:
I will agree on that one.. It really irritates me watching people leave before the clock hits 00:00.Sorry if I wasn't clear.

If it was a big enough issue for the HC to say something about it, or for many a rant about how we they wish they had those tickets.

45k is about right for them. Overall the new stadium would look great for them.

Haha that's for sure. Well when Pete Carroll did it he let people be on the field watching them.Exactly..It's the perfect stadium for a mid-level football program like Baylor has..If our coaches were to open up just our practices to us fans, that size stadium would be perfect for us, it's amazing as to how different our fan-bases truly are..LOL
During the DuBose years, I went to a few practices. People who just showed up were allowed to stand on the field and watch practice. At least on the days I was there. This was summer practice, a week or two before the first game. we just parked on the street not far from the field and walked out there. Watched everything from stretching until the players were dismissed. Couldn't do that nowadays, that's for sure, but it was pretty cool.Haha that's for sure. Well when Pete Carroll did it he let people be on the field watching them.
