35k to start is smart. Build demand. College attendance is down. A gameday atmosphere is better when there aren't a sea of empty seats. 

Nippert Stadium is only 40k at present and was 35k till 2014.

Look I’m not here to  sugar coat things. We all know where we stand. We are at a very low point in USF football, and yes we can wallow and focus on the bad or we can look at some of the positives goin

I don't really understand this mindset.  You are free to do as you see fit, but I would watch USF football play Bob's College.  The opponent never mattered to me. It does matter to people who are

Not a USF fan, but I look forward to watching you all join the P5 or P3 soon. Building an OCS is just another sign that USF belongs at the top level. Miami and FSU must be pissing themselves at the th

The agenda mentioned "The stadium  design  is  expected  to  include  general  admission  seating,  club  seats, ledge  seats, loge  boxes, luxury  suites, a field  level club"

They're going to need a lot of affordable level upgrades because of the number who currently have Club access. It's going to be real interesting to see all the pricing breakdowns ....

Today?  Scroll back to page 39.  Meeting agenda with today's date is posted.  I imagine will have some information out of that but I have no idea.  There are others much more fluent in board meetings around here than I am.  I try to steer clear of meetings and politics at my work when/if possible.

They mentioned in 30-45 days an "invitation to negotiate" will be put out for the stadium. Earlier in the thread I posted an example to one I found FSU put out in 2015: https://arenadistrict.fsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/itn-5750-1-arena-district-hotel-convention-post-addendum-4.pdf

Seems like it could be pretty detailed, as Design Firms will look this over and put in a bid to take on the contract to build the stadium. So they likely need enough in regards to what we want to give us a quote of what they would charge.

If you watch the meeting you can see how optimistic Kelly is about the 2026 timeline at the moment. Here is that timeline from the March BOT meeting.

Yes... the IPF was designed by HOK -- the pre-eminent stadium architect.  I would love it if they are the successful bid for the OCS... but I don't know if HOK does the build process.

Yeah, I'm more than a little worried about being priced out of club seating.
