I live in a Texas town of 30,000 people with a high school stadium that seats 15,000 people, has a big video scoreboard, etc. They spend money down here on the schools. I think our local school budget for this town is now over 180 million per year.
That said, I have never been to UCF's stadium. I went to a game at the Citrus Bowl before I moved to Texas, but I think you guys are selling their place short. Just beign on campus will promote a better atmosphere than we have at Raymond James, although I see that they are making what I consider a mistake and making some type of club lounge area. That's a big reason why the atmosphere in RJS is a bit of a snoozer. Too easy for casual fans to ignore the game and just socialize in the end zones and lounge areas.
When and if we do build an OCS, I don't care if it is done in metal, concrete, or some other material. It should be a bowl, be designed and built with expansion in stages for a total of up to 80,000 seats in mind (you never know what will happen in the future), and be built with seat license donations as well as naming rights for everything that together could raise up to 80 million dollars or more.
First, let's get the team winning again. I think this year we win the conference.
Go Bulls!
