Some of the people who sit in the upper deck will move to the shoe and it will make the upper deck look even more empty. Recruits will see it and see that we do don't have a good fan base and not want to come to ISU. I am done for the night.
Houston Cougars current stadium seats 32000. They announced in summer 2010 that they would be razing their stadium and building new. In the 2009 season only one game hit capacity (texas tech) and of the remainder, most were in the low to mid 20ks.
Their new stadium size? 40,000, expandable to 50,000. Building it, and they will come.

I think signing off is a good idea. Tomorrow I would suggest reading the thread again and see if that alleviates some of your concerns. They have been addressed repeatedly by numerous posters. If you still cannot wrap your mind around their logic, so be it.

1. Students to endzone - eliminates "worst/cheapest" seats
2. Quality seats where students currently are now open up.
3. Corners and end sections that can't find buyers go on sale like the endzone formerly did, but now you have a better seat for same/slightly higher price.
I think that would work quite nicely.

We won't just build the next Cowboys Stadium in Ames because we have one of the smallest athletics budgets in the BCS. We have to do more with less. This expenditure will make JTS look like more like a BCS/Big XII stadium without starting over.
A hillside ticket goes for what, $10? That's $60 - $70 per season right now. Take all the people off the hillside and sell them an endzone season ticket for $125 (I think that's what they are now) and the athletic department has essentially doubled the income from the hillsiders each season.
I know some people LIKE the hillsides where their kids can spread out and play instead of watching the came. Perhaps the north hillsides can stay open for Little Clones Club members only - allow parents to buy a $10 ticket with each Little Clone Club membership card at the gate on the day of the game. Everyone else goes to the south endzone for $125/season or full admission price on a game by game basis.

DING DING DING, We have a winner.
Also, putting the students in the end zone will project a wall of sound out at the other team when they drive towards the end zone, or are stuck in their own end zone.
I hate the hillside seats. I'll go to more games knowing I won't have to sit/stand on that crappy grass the whole game. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same.
Yea, students in one end zone and the band in the other is an effective 1-2 punch. Might even get more of the crowd into cheers with those two groups anchoring the two ends of the stadium?
Yup. Make the North hillsides "child only" and sell the endzone or corners @ hillside prices and you will get better attendance, especially in the late season.
This is a good solution. I do kind of like retaining some of the hillsides at JTS, just because I think it's a nice novelty that lends the stadium a nice college-y feel for some reason.
@ besser and @ delt
Both solid posts. As a student I'm kind of ****** because I don't really like the endzone view, but I do realize that it was a luxury that ISU offers that most others don't. Im super psyched for this to happen, especially smack dab in the middle of when I am going to school.

It's not that bad (speaking as somebody who essentially had that view for four years as a band member). Plus, you'll be looking right on at that new videoboard.
