That's my point. If we are talking 20 years down the road with this being based on continued success and planning, we can build a very nice 45k-50k stadium and by that time we should be able to pay for expansion with the season ticket demand if it is needed.

And if you want to use public school examples, ask Virginia Tech,Tennessee and Penn St. if they every thought they would have problems selling out their stadiums 5 years ago? These were Top 10 teams in 2009! Winning is not guaranteed every season.

I am not thinking small....just making sense.

I'm sure that the stadium expansion will take care of itself over a period of time based many factors. But, at a minimum, if we complete the South End Zone and small section on the press box side; along with proposed club seats, box seats, loge seats, and the student side upper deck; this will put us at 48,547 (not including the grass in the north end zone.....which requires no construction by the way). So we can easily get to the 50K number without the expensive second decks in the end zones and still have the grass in the North End Zone for overflow. I know this will all take some time, but it is exciting to discuss. By the way, I think we will beat both Arkansas and Kansas State.

By the way with Two weeks till we open up with Arkansas, has anyone heard any new Season Ticket totals? I know that with a win or two to start the season, would go a long way to increasing the season ticket base for Louisiana prior to our Home opener!!!
