"Well, folks, the call for architects/engineer s has just been released by the FAU Planning Department. I've convinced my boss, and we are going after the contract. Wish us luck."

The novel thing to do would be to read the approval… ;)
A. PROJECT HISTORY AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This facility is a 30,000 seat football stadium to be built on FAU’s Boca Raton Campus. The
stadium shall be expandable to up to 65,000 seats. See the appendix of this program for early
schematic studies showing stadium concepts for a 30,000 to 35,000 seat stadium, a 40,000 -
45,000 seat stadium and a 60,000 to 65,000 seat stadium. The field will be state-of-the-art.
The selection of artificial turf vs. grass will be made during the early phases of design. The
stadium building will comprise a press level with several press rooms, designed for radio and
TV broadcasting; at least one level of up to 24 luxury suites, plus a presidential suite; a club
level with catering kitchen, and a locker & training level. Concession booths and restrooms,
designed to suit the capacity of the stadium, shall be provided. The stadium will include two
scoreboards, one video board, and 4 light towers (min) which will meet nighttime broadcast TV
standards.

Don't worry… the stadium will be as close as possible to the NCAA's minimum requirement of 30000 seats. The accommodations for 65000 people would increase infrastructure and operating costs tremendously (parking, concessions, stadium staff, etc.). The document asks of the stadium to be expandable "just in case".

i think, by the sound of it initially, some took this to be the "current proposal"…this is not the case…
