"Acceptable" to whom?  It's an easy bet if you get to decide whether or not to eat your hat.

I am okay with benches in a bowl formation and some USF stuff in the concourses.  I am sure they will aim higher though.

No, cannot accept huge downgrades like benches just to have an OCS.

Remember it is the Alums that pay the bills, not the students.

That was definitely the consensus on the feasibility survey so there you go...

I'm good with the following if it's done right...

40% GREEN seats with cupholders, etc. that can be sold at a premium/club access

40% GREEN molded benches with bench backs for general sales and students

10%  Standing with counter tops with cupholders for students

10% Standing room only on berm and concourse for general sales and students

Done.  Book it.

GO BULLS!

Actually pretty sure students will pay a part of it thru student fees. Having benches in the end zones for student seating and general admission would be ok in my book. I just don’t know how much that saves money wise. Anyways we will know soon enough. We will get a nice stadium but if you are expecting an NFL level stadium you are going to be disappointed

College football is all about bench seating. You want a soft seat with a cup holder, go buy in the club. 

See Sanford Stadium for UGA. 

 

Gives the school more opportunity to sell USF Branded Stadium Seat merchandise.

But that leaves zero room for red seats...

Acceptable is something on the level we are used to at Ray Jay.

Seatbacks, armrests, stadium that does feel like it is collapsing like Mickey Mouse's stadium.

Parking/taigating ease like Ray Jay.

Well that ain't gonna happen and I think it's pretty rare at on campus stadiums ...

Through the athletic fees that students pay, they are our biggest donors.

There will have to be more non bench seating than just the Club area but will probably be a good amount of bench type because it's cost effective ............. but college football "tradition" or not, bench seating sucks and is only good for hiding attendance deficiencies.
