Yeah, I don't know what base occupancy is at JerryWorld but when they bust out record attendance like at the stadium opener they have big sections on each end that are all standing room only at field level so practically nobody can see the actual game anyway. I think it's like a bar/restaurant type thing on those ends and everybody just watches on TVs.

I thought it was more recent, looks like the 100k happened in the 1920s: http://www.soldierfield.net/content/stadium-history
Ah, they cut capacity in 1971:

Those collonades are badass. I was about to bitch about destroying them for luxury boxes, but it looks like they actually just built up in front of them, at least on one side.
There are definite opportunities for certain colleges to build to 150,000+ stadiums, and still fill it.
Stadium designs are maxed out to 100-110K, for safety and view-ability issues. Couldn't imagine putting a triple deck on top of the upper decks at Bryant Denny. They'd have to be way up there to not block the view of the "middle deck". It'd become a fricken skyscraper!

Roof seats. You know it is the future. Like an upside down rollercoaster. You get sideline tickets to the next game if you catch a punt in the air.

MSU fans don't despair. It's not THAT bad.

Haha, I heard this on the radio this morning.
Leave your cell phones, glasses, hats, purses, small children, and yes, even your flasks at home. 15 yard penalty to be enforced on the Home Team for any objects hitting the field. Except Bra's. Home Team awarded 3 points for AWWWWW YEAAAAH.

6 points if the bra lands on the QB's helmet.

We need a 150K+ stadium in the states, if not only to topple the Worlds largest capacity stadium in North Korea. The number of seats in that stadium exceeds 150K, but the number is probably inflated due to half of the seats being used by performers in Mass Games. I think seats should only count in the total if they are occupied by a paid patron. Otherwise, they shouldn't be counted just like seats with a tarp over them.
I agree. Bryant-Denny's newest additions are now a couple of years old, and that "new stadium" smell is mostly gone. Time to build a new stadium on all that land we just got when we bought the funny farm adjacent to the University. 200k or bust!

I remember when I thought the same in 2006-2007 after the dust settled from the first round of expansion. Times were even better of the Big East then with WVU, Rutgers, UL and even USF sneaking into the top 10 at times.
It's a slow death not a gunshot to the head. I hope to see UL in the Big 12 at some point. *
*Note: Not really.

Use a NASCAR stadium. Put the field in the middle. You could have a million person mosh pit on the field alone!

Meh, you guys will probably get 10k in there. Bout as much Texas brought in.
Plus doesnt really change the fact that most OSU fans wear scarlet to the game already so.
Cause LA had 3 and lost all of them.
You have to remember the Jag stadium was made for NCAA games. As much as ppl hate on jax have you seen the damn team its fucking horrible. They will not support a losing team there.
This isn't 1992, and Kurt Cobain is dead.
On a related topic, when's the last time people here were in one?
2003 at a Mars Volta show
lol are you citing the Los Angeles Chargers to make a point.

Drove by USF's campus today, will say this, after seeing both USF and UCF from the outside UCF has far better facilities
Hey CF-Gaf did I miss any major upsets sat? Any major news?

Reminds me of this one time back when I was in 10th grade, a girl in my class told me to close my eyes and touch an imaginary girls vagina. I didn't know what she was getting at, but I wasn't one to shy away from a strange request. I fucking did it, and it really felt like I touched a vagina, but all she really did was put her lips around my finger while my eyes were closed. She got me good.

CFB is always a safe harbor.
I'm just waiting for the day Notre Dame actually becomes relevant again and one of their lifelongs wanders into this thread and gets trolled to hell and back, getting us all banned.

Its crazy how much it seems USF has dicked around since joining the BE. But I know they just renovated their basketball arena and it is supposed to be pretty nice. Fun fact, they pretty much said fuck it and put in all of the New BE team banners in the rafters and didn't put up Pitt or Cuse.

In that case, the best revenge would be luring them to a ChiTown thread.

I can support that. Weird seeing the Big 12 flags up at the Texas games when you knew a couple were bailing, even weirder with the BEast situation.
If he has completed his mission, NBA-gaf should be empty about now. We can just stick them in there.

If you wanted to know how bad C-USA is, 1/3rd of the conference is winless and another third only has one win.

It's pretty pathetic this season I admit. In our defense, the normal top half of the conference has been through a lot of turmoil. Coaching turnover and talent loss. Even UCF has had a lot of turnover in the assistant ranks.

If West Virginia had stayed you guys would look a lot better, to be fair.
But they have several undefeated teams.

No no no, you're thinking of the Big East. The Big East C-USA merger isn't official until next season.

Subtle, I like it.
I'll look forward to watching you in the Poinsettia Bowl or whatever for eternity.
I'm afraid you have us mistaken for Arizona State.

Nebraska travels incredibly well and most Husker fans have never been to Columbus, could very well be a lot more than that.
Nebraska fans should wear black to stand out...
Damn, cd beat me to that joke like Sark beats Tedford.

This is such a storied rivalry. I mean they played eachother this season for the first time in 13 years! So glad to have this rivalry back. We all recognize how important it is for college football to keep this rivalry going strong. Hell even DJ Porter released a music video for the occasion. Minute Man Football is that big of a deal.

I know they travel well, but its not like theyre coming to a school that also isnt football crazy. There will be a lot around the stadium im sure, but I think there will still be 10k in the stadium. It's pretty much our biggest game of the year so tickets wont be easily given up.
