I'm sure that our we are only a swanky new bachelor pad away from dating all the hot conferences.

I was looking at an attendance article for cfb from 2018-2022 and we were at #65 for fbs at just under 30K per game in that timeframe.

65 USF

2018-2022 Attendance Average: 27,729.00
5-Year Filled Stadium Capacity 42.10%
2022 Average Attendance: 29,650
2022 Filled Stadium Capacity 45.02%

Compare that with teams with >35K attendance which is our proposed OCS capacity that are as low as 50th out of 133.  Still think we need to go bigger!

50 Minnesota

2018-2022 Attendance Average: 35,183.00
5-Year Filled Stadium Capacity 69.25%
2022 Average Attendance: 3
2022 Filled Stadium Capacity 88.61%

49 UCF

2018-2022 Attendance Average: 35,828.20
5-Year Filled Stadium Capacity 81.05%

When Florida State is good, I’d imagine that Doak Campbell Stadium is a great place to spend a college football Saturday. Just get me a seat under the awning at the Champions Club because the rest of the stands is basically metal bleachers with no seatbacks. In the Sunshine State? That’s asking for trouble.

It’s a stadium in New Orleans. All it has to do is exist, and I’ll be there.

Texas is constantly putting money into the stadium, and while most fans are still stuck with metal bleachers, DKR Memorial Stadium.

Alabama is like a ridiculously rich person who loves hosting parties for 100,000 friends. Bryant-Denny Stadium is that mansion. Who is going to say no to a party at a mansion? Exactly. But for real, this is an iconic stadium that is constantly getting improved. They’re never satisfied at Alabama, and it shows (in a good way).

Why do people continue to say "it's happening"?

To actively combat the other social media idiots who continue to pretend that it's not.

They believe the twitter  sports experts or are just having fun essentially posting their tweets as memes.  I hope it is the later .
