the emabarassment of hosting Michigan State in 2010 at Lockhart.  :P

The stadium will be ready on time, but this was a great "visual"  ;D






Be like having the in-laws over to your trailor.  ;D

Re: Attendance growth

i met with Schnelly today and there were some budget meetings this morning and this afternoon.  he told me specifically that the stadium will be done for the 2nd saturday in 2010….to host Mich State.  Everything is in line and they are just needing to get the loan.

Now the big rumor is that in the budget meetings the size of the stadium went down.  Open endzones and holds 20,000.  this was what was being talked about in the football office today.

Re: Attendance growth

20,000 seat stadium with open endzones?????
I'll take it!!! I can't wait any longer. Most big time schools started small and expanded through the years.
Did not FIU build an 18K seat stadium?
20K seat stadium sounds reasonable for our program.
I don't mind about the capacity because we don't fill stadiums yet. I only care about the quality of the stadium and something we can call our HOME!!!

GO OWLS!!!
I am buying my brick this week!!!

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

You know how many alumni will be unable to get a ticket for that opening game on campus against Michigan State?  I imagine there will be demand for 30k+ tickets for games like that.  While it would be cool for it to be hard to get a ticket, it might turn away potential fans and donors….20,000 is really small.

Aye,

And THATS the incentive to get season tickets NOW.  Everyone who has season tickets, or orders them for 2009 should have first pick for the stadium for the level they want to pay. Market it that way, if there is a PRECIEVED or ACTUAL shortage supply, the demand will push as well.

F_O

Damn shame some of those ideas we tlaked about for season ticket growth just got blown off.

Partly correct… they have a priority points system based on how much you donate to the Owl Club, plus how long you have had season tickets for, plus if you are an alumni, plus a couple other ways to get priority points when getting tickets for the new stadium… basically when the stadium is ready they will go down the list of point holders from top to bottom for seat assignments etc before opening up to the public…

So the question then is how does one know where you stand?

My wife is an alum. Ive had season tickets since day one, but do not as of yet donate to the owl club.

Is there a chart or graph?
