Then get a giant shop vac.been cheaper and easier just to have a squadron of SU -34s drop some FAB -1500S on the dump
35K? JFC! Is that even allowed in the B1G? Do they not plan on ever having a good team again?The new Ryan Field will only seat 35K. But it boasts all the seating will have excellent sight lines.
Small school. C’mon.35K? JFC! Is that even allowed in the B1G? Do they not plan on ever having a good team again?
Won't exactly be a "home" game but it beats the hell out of Wrigley for football.
The gophers don't have much more capacity.Small school. C’mon.
All of the prior stadium had excellent sight lines with the ocean of empty seatsThe new Ryan Field will only seat 35K. But it boasts all the seating will have excellent sight lines.
TCF Bank Stadium in Minnesota has a seating capacity of 50,805.The gophers don't have much more capacity.
I don't expect them to draw 70K for every game, but I certainly would expect that they could fill a 50k stadium at least once a year against a marquee opponent, and more often when they have a good team. Building a stadium that would only be larger than Wake Forest among P-4 schools is just like saying "I give up."Small school. C’mon.
Don’t need the shop vac, jNW sucks enough.Then get a giant shop vac.
Yeah they need to keep that room for all the visiting fans that come in and take it over.I don't expect them to draw 70K for every game, but I certainly would expect that they could fill a 50k stadium at least once a year against a marquee opponent, and more often when they have a good team.

It had some pretty flowers in the end zone I recall. Loved the 80s boom box sound system with 80s rock blaring from it.I can’t believe that stadium was allowed to exist in the B1G for so long. There’s nicer Texas HS stadiums FFS.
I suspect that their goal is to exclude/minimize opposing fans. The sketches I saw look as though it could be loud if they can fill it with their people. They lose the ticket revenue, but will do OK with the league's tv deal.I don't expect them to draw 70K for every game, but I certainly would expect that they could fill a 50k stadium at least once a year against a marquee opponent, and more often when they have a good team.

They won't lose much ticket revenue if any. Prices will likely go up with a nicer, newer stadium. And as you said, the vibe will definitely be better.I suspect that their goal is to exclude/minimize opposing fans.

Hope they keep that same wonderful 1980s sound system.
Purposely built to be expandable by closing in the bowl, but we know they'll never get enough people to warrant that.TCF Bank Stadium in Minnesota has a seating capacity of 50,805.
Have to give them credit--they did a very nice job on that place.Purposely built to be expandable by closing in the bowl, but we know they'll never get enough people to warrant that.
You're half right. It was built to be expandable but not by closing the bowl. It was built to add another level above the second deck.Purposely built to be expandable by closing in the bowl, but we know they'll never get enough people to warrant that.
Ah, I stand corrected. Perhaps the open end of the stadium bumps up against a road or other property.You're half right. It was built to be expandable but not by closing the bowl. It was built to add another level above the second deck.
Expansion
The stadium was designed to be capable of supporting future seating expansion to 80,000. The 30,000 seats would be added above the second deck of the stadium from the end of the press boxes across to the northwest end of the venue, wrapping around the remainder of the horseshoe.[56] The auxiliary video display currently adjacent to the easternmost section of the media areas would likely be relocated to atop the new third deck. The University of Minnesota could add all 30,000 seats in a single addition or in increments of 10,000 seats, meeting demand as it is needed (although the duplicated costs of such a plan make it unlikely). If expansion is ever undertaken, it can be completed in about 9 months so that there would be minimal interruption of a football season.[63]
You'd need four squadrons at the rate the Russians are losing them. The NW cheer squad would bring down half of them, and another quarter would just fall out of the sky due to poor maintenance and drunken pilots.been cheaper and easier just to have a squadron of SU -34s drop some FAB -1500S on the dump
Pretty sure there's an "elaborate" entrance on that end and then a road right thereAh, I stand corrected. Perhaps the open end of the stadium bumps up against a road or other property.
Edit: minny had a classic brick fully round stadium that they tore down in the 80s in favor of the inflatable toilet
Yes, the West end opens toward the skyline and campus. It’s also where the huge scoreboard is.Pretty sure there's an "elaborate" entrance on that end and then a road right there
Mostly bad juju it seemed like.man, we played a lot of turdfests in that stadium...
