A reason to go on campus with 25,000 like minded alumni at same time.....not just to wonder around campus by yourself

Go to a basketball game then.  It would be great if we could get 25,000 for those

Not sure even when we played in Amalie if the venue could have held 25k.

Sundome holds 10,411 per wikipedia.

Holds about 300 events per year, so that's a really good usage.

IPF..  As a parent I would see USF taking my kids' safety and well being serious..  Plus it adds a better athletic experience for the kids..  OCS would be nice, but so is RJS..

An IPF is like watching the NFL draft when your team is picking in the top 5 and takes a offensive lineman. You know you need one, but it doesn't get you excited about it. No one rushes out to buy tickets for the next guard to suit up.

Funny how we like to throw around other people's money 🙄

Great analogy. The IPF is definitely not going to increase attendance or interest in the team for students or alumni.

No, but the IPF and the associated football facility will attract better players.  Better players = better team.  Better team = better record (usually).  Better record = more interest in the team.  More interest in the team = increased attendance .

We had great records the past 2 years and piss poor attendance. Nobody cares about USF outside of USF....therefore we should focus more on the students of USF. They have always been and always will be the target customer. 

As long as we are in Ray Jay it’s not going to change. The mid 2000s aren’t going to happen again (even then it still wasn’t great).
