that are required for the seats, and lost donation and payment for parking that those people don't pay for. As well as lost food and beverage.

You are GROSSLY underestimating the budgetary sacrifice for reduced capacity.

I think Allen Fieldhouse seats more people - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 06:31:27
     Pretty nice stadium. Nice upgrade. nm - MATO MU - 5/2 20:27:58
     Allen (TX) high school’s football stadium might, too.(nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 5/2 12:01:04
          RE: Allen (TX) high school’s football stadium might, too.(nm) - sarasotatiger MU - 5/2 14:49:14
     It is an upgrade - BigDave MU - 5/2 11:29:37
          they financed $115M or about half of it(nm) - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 11:35:42
               they financed the cost overrun(nm) - tman MU - 5/2 13:06:01
          It will be as the original renderings but only part of it - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:31:16
               Did you just out yourself in this thread? - Hickeytime MU - 5/2 12:24:47
                    Maybe he works for HNTB, the KC architecture firm - TigerJackSwartz MU - 5/2 12:59:32
                    He does seem very invested in this ku stadium (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 12:33:12
     Welp….that’s not an SEC or Big Ten stadium. Nm - ClassicTiger MU - 5/2 11:11:41
          it wouldn't even be the smallest B1G stadium.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:22:19
               What do Northwestern and ku have in common? - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 11:55:25
               yes it would. by quite a bit. the actual numbers: - phrejd STL - 5/2 11:54:16
                    you walked into his trap. Northwestern's new stadium - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 11:57:58
                         will seat around 35K. capacity is quite a bit higher - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:03:33
     coach leipold has done a fine job there(nm) - tmcats KSU - 5/2 10:35:46
          2023 season was very good (for kU), but he really shat - TigerJackSwartz MU - 5/2 10:47:44
               Lost their OC - bagpipertiger MU - 5/2 14:18:07
     looks good. They are being smart with it.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 09:11:35
          correct. They know who they are(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 5/2 09:34:31
     Went to one fb game at kU--got thrown out - mu7176grad MU - 5/2 08:21:31
          Sounds like a pretty intellegent cop - XRob MU - 5/2 10:31:57
          I went over twice and we lost both times - samclemens MU - 5/2 09:27:15
          Did you tell them you were a Vietnam Veteran?(nm) - playhard KC - 5/2 09:22:10
               RE: Did you tell them you were a Vietnam Veteran?(nm) - mu7176grad MU - 5/2 09:37:21
     Apparently it will hold less than it did… - Outsider MU - 5/2 07:26:37
          But they make up for it by moving you further away - Mormad MU - 5/2 13:39:16
          that is a good size for modern college football - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 09:12:22
               It ranks near the bottom among Big 12 schools (14 or 15) - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 09:53:24
                    and?(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 10:45:31
                         I'd say that is not "a good size for modern college football - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 11:12:58
                              It isn't. Looks like at 42,000 it falls at 69th or so - TigerJackSwartz MU - 5/2 11:20:05
                              What does that matter? Is it large enough - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:18:23
                                   your words were "good size" - it isn't.(nm) - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 11:23:51
                                        sure it is. "good" means good enough. - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:25:20
                                             You also said it was good size for modern college football - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 12:00:37
                                                  perhaps he meant "good size for a mid-major football team" - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:06:32
                                                       I'd agree with that and like someone already mentioned, - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 12:14:51
                                                            it is quite strange (nm) - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:17:51
               It's a good size for them, not sure about a lot of other - playhard KC - 5/2 09:23:09
               good size for modern B12 football. What wouldn't cut it - TigerJackSwartz MU - 5/2 09:18:13
                    2 conferences and even then some B1G teams would be - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 09:21:56
                         Purdue drew 60,000 per last season. 42,000 seat stadium - Outsider MU - 5/2 09:55:49
                              you missed the point completely then.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 10:45:16
                                   I don't believe he did(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 5/2 11:08:21
                                   not sure he's the one missing here (nm) - phrejd STL - 5/2 10:53:35
                         Purdue averaged about 60,000 per game - Hickeytime MU - 5/2 09:48:05
                              sure they can but not necessary.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 10:44:58
                                   You’re trying way too hard to prove a point - Hickeytime MU - 5/2 11:01:47
                                        ok lets say a school loses 10k seats. At $100/seat - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:05:29
                                             Why isn’t Ohio State doing this? - Hickeytime MU - 5/2 11:17:01
                                                  Better question - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:19:26
                                                       we have never had 75K seats(nm) - tman MU - 5/2 13:08:34
                                                       we are adding seats. what are you talking about? - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:11:10
                                             That's $1M per game. And that doesn't include lost donations - TigerJackSwartz MU - 5/2 11:14:46
                                             They play more than 1 game a year(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 5/2 11:09:52
                                                  Ok, we'll do a ku specific scenario to avoid the nuh-uhs - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:16:53
                                                       you were proposing that Purdue removes 10K seats - CulturedDan MU - 5/2 11:18:36
                                                            I was proposing they'd be just fine in a nice new stadium - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:20:28
                                                                 they would have to charge $20 more a ticket/game just to - CulturedDan MU - 5/2 11:26:44
                                                                      seats being lost have no donation requirements - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:32:42
                                                                           you're stretching here. a lot. it's weird. (nm) - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:12:42
                                   Yeah, what good is more money in today's athletics? (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 10:48:35
                                        The $ amount from 10k tickets is noise in the AD budget - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:00:39
                                             But the $ amount is greater than without those 10k seats - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 11:46:04
