Whit Babcock is a big guy- he looks like he could suit up and play football.

capacity isn't finalized
RE: Nippert Stadium Press Conference - Watch Link - Bearcat_Bounce - 12-18-2012 02:12 PM
Primary goal is to change financial model, mentioned how low UC's budget is compared to BCS schools.
RE: Nippert Stadium Press Conference - Watch Link - bearcatfan - 12-18-2012 02:17 PM
Interesting that he is speaking with Bob Goin - I wonder if Goin could be utilized to contact previous major donors?

That's impressive. Hopefully they will consider wrapping that seating around the entire length of the press box.

Whit absolutely nailing the reasons why Nippert Expansion is better than playing at PBS.

That excites me. I was hoping they would tie in TUC for better access and crowd control. These plans are awesome IMO.

The only negative that I can see with the renderings is that raising the box up will make the television view more of an aerial view. Not a big deal for those of us that go to nearly all the games, but I always hate those arena's and stadiums that make it look as if you are looking down from above. Maybe it won't be too bad, just have to wait and see. All in all I love this design though.

I thought Whit did an excellent job explaining the plan and laying out the vision. The concept drawings look great. I am pleased he touched on PBS and why there is a limited return on investment there. Glad to hear he has talked to Goin. Bob is a fountain of information. Seems as if they really poured over the options.

Watch the video on gobearcats.com. It is the 2nd tab. It is under the title"Now is the Time. This is the Place. Nippert... ". Talk about goose bumps

He said the is about changing the revenue model and playing games at PBS does not do so...several reasons of the top of my head
1. Lack of Control over concessions
2. Lack of Control over parking
3. Sharing of ticket revenues (Said last years two trips to PBS cost the Cats in the 6 figures)
4. Lack of Control over the luxury suits
5. Having their own luxury suits is a great way to connect with big donors and corporations.
6. Said he wants the athletic programs to be a gateway for the University and that taking games away from Campus takes away from on campus visibility
7. Said kids coming down to the first game at Nippert are often seeing UC's campus for the first time and that hopefully it will lead them back to UC.
8. Mentioned last years survey and the ticket holders overwhelmingly preferred Nippert Stadium.
9. Said the players and coaches preferred Nippert.
I may be missing some stuff, but that's top of my head.
