Matt Posted July 3, 2008 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 12,291 Reputation: 63 Days Won: 0 Joined: 10/01/2003 Share Posted July 3, 2008 for 288 million you would think that they would put more than 50,000 seats in there. yea i know it can be expanded but with a brand new stadium you think they would be able to draw more than 50K for a game. thats probably about around $500K of revenue that they will be missing out on each game......when we do get a stadium i dont care if we dont spend 288 million but i want more than 50K seats.

We need 80K designed for future expansion to 100K+. I expect we will be filling RJS with a waiting list in a few years, and you may as well have the big stadium if we are going to do it - otherwise, we should stay where we are. Now what I would reallly like is 100K and an SEC invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
