Agree with leopold. I think we will see stadiums downsizing in the next 20-25 years, sacrificing thousands of undesirable seats for more luxury and premium seating options- club levels, bars/restaurants, luxury boxes. Some NFL exec made a comment last offseason about how the stadiums of the future would probably be closer to 60K seats with more amenities.

Welcome to the Big 12 (aka Longhorn conference) TCU. Get ready for more media overcoverage of your problems and scandals. I'll gladly trade places with you anyday though!

Then there will be no excuses for crappy attendance:

1) Our 2014 schedule is the best we have ever had since the SWC
2) Beer and wine will be sold at Ford
3) First two games will be at 6PM (Texas A&M, TCU)

If we include Wifi, I want no more excuses from June. Kids should theoretically come and stay for the entire game.


FTHP just stop it already :roll:

I'm not sure how practical this would be, but from my perspective, I'd enjoy going to games a lot more.

It's just FTHP with his new screen name, it's beyond obvious. Just ignore him. The clown knows nothing

Historically that has been the case with those two opponents. I guess I should have put "probably be at 6pm"

Dont worry about this, if you aren't a negative debbie downer you are not allowed to post on this board. See the basketball board for that idiot who posted that he would like SMU to go back to the 1500 fans or less per game. Seriously F these losers.

FTHP just sent me his resignation letter, so I guess we'll see.
