FWIW, Oregon, widely considered one of the toughest places to play, seats just at 54K and was at 42K until '02.

They have a roof or something hanging partially over the field that deflects the noise back onto the playing field correct?

I don't think there is any roof my man. It's real steep stadium though. Fans are on top of the game all day. Tough place to play obviously.
 
The buyout is not a problem. If as was stated here he nets $4M a year, that is our worst case buyout $4M per year. 55K seats would be an ideal stadium. Beggars can't be choosers and my guess is it ends up at 40-45 because the other side only wants 25K. Even a a 40k seat stadium near the site of the old orange bowl would be awesome. New stadiums are designed so well, the experience will be spectacular.

I don't understand the value of a stadium that isn't big enough to host our biggest/most important/toughest home games.

Can someone explain that for me?

Because we have more games that are not big games than games that are. Especially considering we don't play the reptiles anymore. They can move big games to No life if necessary. It's bad for recruiting and the commentators keep harping on about the empty seats.

That makes zero sense.

Truth be told on the "big games" we probably get an additional 10-15K once a year fans, but almost always an additional 10K visiting fans, at least. Some f$u games it feels like 25-30. If we are averaging 35-37K of season tickets that leaves very little room for opposing fans. Even of that figure is only on paper, you'd still have much fewer of those faqqots snatching up seats like nothing.

So an argument can be made that if playing bigger games at no life really means a net gain of 5k fans, but the presence of 15-20K opposing fans, we may be better off "home field advantage"-wise playing in the smaller more intimate stadium.

Now, losing out on the additional revenue from those ticket sales, concessions, etc is a whole other story.

That's kinda my point of the whole thing.

As far as the lost ticket revenue, concessions and parking monies.

Who gives a fvck about a few thousand dollars more? If you're losing that big game every year then it's wasted.
 
I seriously doubt Miami invests roughly a hundred million of dollars into their own stadium to play their biggest games at SLS.
