that they currently fill.

Don't move the goalposts.


We all agreed that ku was making the smart choice in reducing their seats to MWC levels, b/c that's who they are. You said that schools like Purdue should do the same.

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
