        <![CDATA[ Personally, I think we need to dig out and build down to the field. We have to have more sideline space than any stadium I&#39;ve ever been to. I just got back
from a high school football camp at Troy State and I would absolutely love to have stands as close as they do. Every stadium I&#39;ve been to in the SEC was
twice as close. I think it would improve the atmosphere tremendously. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Flab is correct that we did gain more attendance with the expansion, but it truthfully a minimul percentage wise, and its compounded for effect because of the
good seasons going on.
<br>
<br>
Congrats we added over 12,000 seats and only added about about 1500 new fans per season average in attendance. NOT a good trade off.
<br>

I will say this though, the North endzone expansion does not need to be half-assed though like LT would do, you HAVE to take into consideration not only the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ we were close to 90% capacity.  They year of expansion, we were at 98%.  Right now, we are averaging 78%.  Numbers don&#39;t make sense.  We need to win a
little bit more before increase our general seating by almost 20%.  And no one is saying cap it at 60K.  But you don&#39;t go expanding in the next couple of
years to 65K.

			<description><![CDATA[ Scott Field held 42,000 plus whatever those aluminum add-ons did. I&#39;m pretty sure DWS usually averages more than what Scott Field held at max capacity.
<br>
<br>
And my point is Scott Field wasn&#39;t consistently selling out.....Proof positive: build it, and they will come.
<br>
<br>
Sure there&#39;s a limit. You can&#39;t build a 150,000 seat stadium and fill it up in Starkville. But to think we&#39;re somehow close to capped out at
50,000-60,000 is ludicrous.

levels and in the upper decks may pay a little more for the end zone and be lower.  Plus you put half that bowl in student and bring that around allowing the
University to sell those tickets on the 30-40 yd lines to paying customers for higher prices.  Sucks for students but they wont care that much.  Hell it didnt

program, we have unprecedented potential for fanbase growth.  The last thing we need is for our stadium to hold us back.  Regardless of whether you&#39;re
selling out your stadium on a regular basis or not, increased capacity results in increased attendance.  Increased attendance equals more money from ticket
sales, merchandise sales,... ]]></description>

And most of us are saying, we should limit the amount of general admission and I agree.  You realize we have only sold out our stadium once since the expansion
(Bama 2007).  Of course, winning helps put people in the stands but there is no way we can expand by adding a lot of general seating unless we win first.  The

games.  2,3, or 4 game packages and things like that (don&#39;t we already have a 3 game package or something like that?).  Group rate discounts for high
schools, churches, etc.  That kind of stuff.
