Why is the Dome Half Full?

[BigHorns]

Yes........

is it possible for us to go much bigger there if we were FBS someday?
I don't mean a few hundred or couple thousand seats, but take it to like 25-30k seats.

Probably looking at $300 million to do that. Might as well build a new dome stadium will never get the ROI on that expenditure.

Anyone check out the attendance at the TX game today?????? WOOF

Texas was on their longest losing streak since the 1950s so it's not surprising fan interest was down. Plus, it must get annoying watching your team take the field through a vagina.



And it's not even centered.

We managed at Youngstown. Cold yes. But we were there. Neither rain nor snow…

Wow, I just looked at the forecast. 45 degrees and some wind. No excuses there.

Their brand must still draw a huge number of television eyeballs to be able to move to the SEC and trigger the whole FBS realignment wave. The money they make and spend is obscene. According to USAToday, they are number 3 at $200 million a year before the new SEC deal.

Guess it shows money doesn't always equal success, at least in terms of wins and fans in seats.

Because the gold star marching band isn't in their seats.

USD is mostly sold out although there are some tickets in the first ten rows near midfield.

USD has not hosted a football playoff game since 1986. No fatigue in Vermillion.

No, that was 1985. We beat USD in the championship game in 1986.
