How often have we had over 15,000 butts in the seats at Lockhart? …. USF. ONE time that I can remember.
I think the Colgate game, back in the day, sold out.
I think more people, especially students living on campus, would start going to the games if they were in boca.
Also everyone is complaining about lockhart being a dump, and it is, but the halfstadium would be smaller than lockhart. So do you all really want a smaller, newer version of lockhart? FAU should just wait it out another season.
Colgate had under 13k I think

But if you said 30,000 in 5 years, I would say 15,000 now.

I can agree with that.NCowl said
If the 30,000 was guaranteed in 2011, that is only 1 more year for a double in size stadium.
But if you said 30,000 in 5 years, I would say 15,000 now.
But guarantees aren't always guarantees.

Re: Now or Later?
i can't seem to post the pics because the files are too large so here's the links.
the last one is the best, is show's a 360 virtual view of the stadium.
something is better then nothing. this no guarantee we'll have a 30k stadium in '11, '12, '13….. What is going to change? We've gone through the worst and best times of lending and nothing has ever been accomplished.

Re: Now or Later?
The games sell out, demand goes up, they can quickly add on each off season. Every summer, adding another 5K seats until it's done. We HAVE to get the ball rolling on this because I feel that we could be losing recruits over it. We've been telling kids for 5 years that we'll have a place to play in Boca. you don't think the coaches at FIU are telling them that story? They are. Our winning ways these past few seasons are the only thing that keeps us in the conversation, but you put two "rebuilding years" together, and we quickly become FIUs whipping boy, losing recruits all over the south to whoever wants them.

as opposed to wait one more year
Looks good, but as someone already said before. Do we really know it will be one more year? No one has come out and said well 2010 is looking bleak but by 2011 we will DEFINITELY have a stadium on campus. They said they are hopeful that if it doesn't work in 2010 it is a possibility in 2011. What happens if by this date next year economy still stinks and then we're looking at maybe 2012 or 2013. If you have the finances to build something albeit a scaled down version of what you were hoping for now, then I say build it
