So does this mean an expanded stadium?

2009: 22.203

Probably will see even less people from Navy coming this year given their current record (2-6)

30k in Ford looks good on national TV; that's got to be the goal (to avoid those empty endzone/sparse visitor side camera shots)

BYU in a good year might very wll bring more than anyone-Navy, Air Force and Houston would spike attendance. No other team would bring more than you average CUSA West team. West Virginia too if you count them. In short its going to up to SMU to fill the Stadium in the Big East

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Having endzone seats at this stage are terrible given we can't fill the good seats so they almost always are empty and on tv. Can we get them covered for low attendance game so we at least get full sides? Most small schools do not have endzone seating and some of the bigger schools put there student section there given it is less preferable seating.

A full Ford is a great atmosphere (TCU game last year for example).
Wouldn't be opposed to more boxes on east side, but that would seem to prevent any addition of a deck (not that it is necessary right now...)

Box expansion os for the west sode.

Let's start averaging closer to 30k per game before we start thinking about expansion. Maybe in a 3-4 years?

Yep. BYU has made a big time showing the last couple of times they've played at Cowboys stadium. I remember a few years back, I was in Dallas for an SMU game when BYU was playing OU (I think) at Jerryworld and there were people everywhere around town in Blue "Y" shirts. Kinda weird, really.

Well as long as they agree with you.

Would be a nice touch if we could average 30k. Regional teams make the draw (TCU, Baylor, etc... the old SWC).

I hope we never fill the bowl in, I think the stadium as a horseshoe with the lawn is pretty cool. Add a third layer at the other endzone and opposite the press box and make it boxes if the demand is there.

I'd rather it just be full.
