Will stayed after the board meeting to talk to Kelly and Stroman. If it’s 35k seats and there’s an endzone that’s an open grass berm for students that can fit like 6k I think that’s fine.

“We based the 35,000 off the feasibility study that was done,” Kelly said. “It’ll have the ability to have some standing room areas, some socialized areas that I know the feedback from students is what they want. All of that’s part of the design phase.”

Thanks.

I don't believe there is any set number required.  Couldn't tell you which team/stadium but think I heard that some bigazz school with like 90k only allots 2,500 or so for visitors.  But it is late (for me) and I may be delirious.

This.  We've given more in the past because RJS offers more to give.  If the stadium has 35k seats, 2500 might be a tad high.

can the first tier be below ground at the site selected?

Sure... they likely have done the math, and there is likely a point where a game at RJS makes financial sense because of increased ticket sales despite the costs associated with renting it and the opportunity costs for missing a game at the OCS.

I would hope, because we're not tied in to a lease agreement, that we could negotiate a better deal than what we have now.

There are so many other events in RJS outside of Bucs and Bulls, it must be affordable and readily available, the community stadium, right?

More to the point.

Nice!  That's exactly how I would have done it.
