Back to the sellouts conversation - yes it is hard. Even big schools have attendance issues, although theirs are genuinely more about how to keep students for the whole game (which is another topic itself). As for the idea of thinking too small, I agree with FLCAT to a degree. I don't think we need to go to 25 or 30k seats, but we need to do a lot of upgrades and we should do it in a way that sets us up for more easily growing the stadium in the future. ETSU did that with their new stadium - inital build-out was for now, but the design was for easy expansion later where they could add stands all the way around if needed. We can also argue about how attendance is calculated (tickets sold vs butts in seats), but I think the Bucs actually show an average attendance that is above 100% of the stadium's capacity. So there are also things to be said about packing the stands vs having a stadium that is too big. Ramsey is a pretty good example of that
