And why should that matter?
It is hard for Papa Johns to sell tickets now, why would you expand?I hope we get bigger than Commonwealth Stadium by a larger margin.

To be big, you have to think big and be big by your actions. I remember all the ones that claimed that we could never fill a 42,000 seat stadium. Well, how did that turnout? You have to have drive and vision to grow!
Ohio State plays real football. Kentucky does not. Big Difference. The show is in Louisville, NOT in Lexington.

It still doesn't increase the size of the pool of potential fans. Ohio has 8 million more. I would love to see our stadium grow as much as anyone on here. I will go with Tom Jurich's statement a few years back We want to grow it right. Adding 30,000 seats at once doesn't make sense, and looks bad on TV. Better to have 1000 wanting tickets then 15,000 empty.
1963-
The Louisville Program will add seats when they think it is right. They are not going to add 30,000 seats. They will add roughly 8,000 seats (plus/minus) when a major name-donor steps up. This Program knows a little more about timing and size and facilities and support and markets than their knowledge-challenged younger siblings to the Southeast.
I'm not doubting your numbers, but Arrowhead sure looks a lot bigger than that on TV. That really surprises me.
UL may sell the seats that you're saying they do but there are a lot of empty seats unless you're playing a ranked team. I have a feeling that many seats are sold to corporate sponsors and aren't used. Unless you're just into the expansion as a d*** measuring contest I don't see the need for expanding at the moment when the country as a whole is downsizing. Attendance is down for most teams in most sports it's not me here bashing your fanbase its just the truth

I think we can handle 63k now. Hopefully they will set the structure to 75k in the future. Again just having them doesn't make them fill up.
Anyway I think the more telling figure is the Alumni size.
Because Jurich isn't simply adding 10,000 cheap seats. He's adding half that many high revenue, suite or club seats. Far easier to sell and cost justify that type of expansion....Unless you're just into the expansion as a d*** measuring contest I don't see the need for expanding at the moment...

Gotta remember, we're talking about the opposite stuff that LPT usually does with its facilities.
