Get on now, or you might not have a seat based on size of stadium and current season ticket holder and donor base. Makes me wonder out of 35K capacity, how many seats reserved for students? 6k would be my guess. That leaves 29k seats to sell. If I had to guess 15-20k season ticket sales in year 1. that leaves 9k for the mini pack and single game deadheads which I presume in year one there would be increased single game interest for those wanting to visit the new stadium. The challenge will be supply not demand, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is closer to 5,000 than 2,000. Also, it would be difficult to believe that the OCS will have less seats for students than what is allotted now.

Get on now, or you might not have a seat based on size of stadium and current season ticket holder and donor base. Our player told us they have seen stadium designs and renderings. The coach with us said the football operations building is the thing they are the most excited about and will help recruiting even more than the stadium. The players care more about where they train, eat, and sometimes sleep from Sunday - Friday more than they care about where they play on Saturday. Sounds like the operations building will be state of the art and the Selmon Center is getting cramped. Coach with us also said the Claw land will be redeveloped into student apartment/housing with retail and bars and restaurants on bottom floor. Places for students/alum to hang within walking distance to new stadium. The event overall was great. Go Bulls! Thank you for this insight!!!

If they earn revenue from leasing out that land does athletics get extra money that could go towards the stadium debt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention that golf practice facility and a three hole practice course will remain, so he sounded insightful. 1 hour ago, Gismo said: Thank you for this insight!!! Go Bulls!

Ok so Away Fans - 5k Students - 10k Season Tix Current - Guessing 15k-17k increase Season tix for new stadium - 3-5k? yeah never mind if students go we would be pretty full!! and smaller demand people will buy so they don’t get left out. I say we sell it out for the whole 1st season!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
