Really? You couldn't read one of the other 20,000 threads on this topic to find people's reasons?
How many times does it have to said. It doesn't increase capacity.
No. I can however post a new thread........ So I did.
Empty hillsides don't look as bad as empty bleachers.
Maybe more people would go to the game if they could get real seats for cheap instead of sitting on grass.(assuming the seats in the bowled in south endzone would be cheaper than other seats)
Plus all the other benefits that have been pointed out countless times over and over again.
Yep. Better viewing angles, better seats, no cold, wet grass. In addition, you move the student section down there and those seats where theyre at can grab a higher amount.
Why you want to bowl in the South Endzone so bad? I seriously dont get the big deal.
It'd make the stadium look better, but hoenstly i could careless.
Have you been to Manhatten, Lawrence, Waco, or Lubbock? ISU is right on par with these stadiums.With the new videoboard we're getting and two decks bowled in the South Endzone, JTS goes from bottom of the conference stadium to one that looks like it belongs in a BCS conference. Part of me wants that selfishly, because JTS will look awesome after all this is done. But it will also help our program with recruiting when our stadium looks more like a Big 12 stadium than a MAC stadium.
And if Rhoads is able to continue to win and we have a sustained run of good seasons, then the fans will come. Those seats won't be empty anymore. Assuming the upper-deck in the south endzone takes us up to around 60k, we would be hanging out with Tech and OSU around 5th through 7th in the new Big12(-2) in capacity.
