You are correct that we could not draw 30K fans late in the year in sub zero weather. Besides why would we want to give up the most unique atmosphere in the nation for an outdoor stadium so we can be like everyone else? These Mac programs would kill to have a dome but the reality is they could never ever raise that kind of money.

FBS or FCS? It's been debated to death so I wont chime in. But if we could increase our athletic budget and raise some more money, we could certainly pay our coaches a number similar to Wyoming. I think we could close the gap without a new stadium but certainly a larger capacity would help. The size of an athletic budget isn't only based on capacity. Look at Duke basketball. Need to find other sources. The team makers revenue will explode once the shac is done. Teammakers can raise more money in the dome if needed. Last report I saw had wyomings budget at $21,445,005. Arent we at 15 million? It's far off yet reachable.
Again--Join TM's at whatever level is STFU!! Join already if u r willing to sacrifice about 15 lunch monies that u otherwise spend in 3-4 weeks. Where is the commitment?!
