I know I'm keeping this conversation off-topic, but there were ABSO-FRIGGEN-LUTELY more than 27,000 butts in seats for the La Tech game.

LOL. Best post ever.

Construction and capacity do go hand in hand, but I agree. Any further capacity discussion in this thread will get merged into the other thread. Thanks.

So what is it? 28K, 29K, 30K, 30,999? How do you not know a more specific number given that construction has already started? You don't just find 3000 more seats during construction. What's the number?

Dude, there has been multiple articles with direct quotes from Dickson saying 25,000 seats as well. It changes every month. There is no consistency of message. It's freakin ridiculous. How hard is it for the University to hold a press conference that is covered by all the local media where either h...

One thing to consider is when they originally came out with the stadium plan total capacity was slated at 25-30K which meant there was a possibility of a 22K seats and 3K SRO. When the initial backlash was heard they moved to 24-25K seats and 5K SRO. Now according to Dickson who is quite possibly l...

Mods -- Can we please divide this thread going forward regarding the stadium? I think I am not alone in tiring of reading about how this OCS is the death nail, arguments over how many seats, name calling, etc... Last night's exchange was too much. Pissing matches are not what I like to see posted h...

The Stadium may not be large...but I am sure Tulane will follow this concept http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/texas_a_m_commerce_lions_unveils_abusrdly_ginormous_midfield_logo_photos/14191226 http://cdn.na16.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/texas-a-m-commerce-lion-2.jpg

Awesome. Let's keep all the fall camp info in this thread for the next few weeks.

+1 They were effective, but no fun!

As for practice for Fall Camp, I'm of the opinion that we should have taken it back to St. Pauls in Covington. There was no better bonding and focus than 3+ weeks of nothing but football, a pool table, no vehicles, and one TV.

It will be an inconvenience some days, other days not so much. Sunday after a game is film and conditioning. Monday is an off day. Tuesday is practice in shells/pads. Wednesday is practice in shells/pads. Thursday is practice in just helmets. Friday is a travel day / walk-through for the traveling t...

Looks like quite a "shoe horn" job around that Hertz Center.

Took that photo from the Reily weight room. I teach there every week so I'll try and take a few shots each time I'm there. But yes, you can't get any closer than that.

I am still getting the recent graduate rate I believe. When I graduated, it was 5 years of discount prices. My five years has passed and I am not going to call and correct them. It is around what you are paying so that may be why they are cheaper than the normal prices. Not to beat a dead horse, bu...

One thing I can't figure out: What is the yellow material going in under the North Endzone Stands?. I could be wrong, but my guess is that it is some sort of GeoFoam. It is used as a land-filler (dirt substitute) and has a very high pressure (pounds per square foot/inch) rating. http://www.geofoam....

Starting this season off with a win is imperative.

The restaurant business is a brutal one. Food trucks have huge advantages in their cost structure so restaurants do the desperate thing. Same thing you see with the taxi industry trying to make Uber illegal and the hotel industry trying to make AirBnB illegal. We've used both AirBnb and Uber for wo...
