I'm guessing Colorado and TCU.

Colorado is a possibility. I doubt TCU, they don't recruit this area.

Syracuse and Wake Forest would make sense. They've been hitting Chicago hard on the recruiting trail.

TCU is booked for years

They can fit teams in 2017 and beyond, which is the timeline most expect. You don't schedule this for a year or two out from now. There's room.

Can't wait to hear the list of teams coming to Dekalb! Hope everyone is correct as well that they will add 3-4k seats on the East side to mirror the west, finally.

28,000 watching us beat U of Indiana or Syracuse sounds A-O-K to me!

"We'll be rolling something out in the next couple weeks on specific home-and-home contests with major conferences. I'm excited about that," Frazier said. "There's some name-brand institutions that will be in DeKalb, and we'll go to their place, and we'll have a whole balanced approach to that.

"I know it's something I've talked to coach (Rod) Carey about, and it's something that's in my DNA. We don't mind going on the road, but we want them back in DeKalb."

I honestly think there are 2 teams and 2 teams only that SF would make sense and that's Notre Dame or Nebraska.

Illinois & Tennessee would also work just fine.

People joke on UofI but they did bring 42k to SF when their fans KNEW they would have a crappy team and the game was vs Washington who has very little draw regionally.

16A/17H could work

Colorado's first away game opening is in 2021
TCU's first away game opening is in 2020

Syracuse could be here in 2018

WF has 2017 totally open...but that game would be 2nd to last on my list just above Kansas.

If the seats are added to the East side they definitely wont mirror the West. Its cheaper to add on the side rather than up.

How many seats could they potentially add by adding to both the north and south ends of both the east and west side? Then how many more seats could they add by horseshoeing off the south end zone?

I know everyone talks about adding seats to the south end, but what about adding seats above Yordon? Is this feasible (note: I was a Coms major, not an engineer...)? What about adding a row or two of sky boxes above it?

Uh oh, stadium reconstruction discussion is invading this thread...

Teams that have a history of playing at G5 stadiums that could be in play:

Louisville, Syracuse, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Pittsburgh, Duke, Kansas, NC State, Wake Forest, Iowa State, Colorado, Indiana

Also think BYU is always a possibiliy for a home and home a few year out.

East side wings 3-5k total (I expect to see this for either the 2016 or 2017 seasons)

West side wings 6-8K total (This only happens after a new skybox, East side wings, renovation of west stands and we are selling out 2+ games a year)

It all depends on how much money they can spend and how far they can overhang the Yordon Center and the road.

Louisville will definitely want to ease up on their OOC schedule now that they play in the ACC.

And Iowa. They brought more fans to Chicago than Wisconsin.

And what about the Illini?

With the new 9 game B1G conference schedule and the ISU/Iowa series we will not play Iowa outside of Iowa City again.

Wisconsin fans showed up enough to make it worth doing again. The contract needs to be more like the Iowa one though and not the Jiff 1 million dollar give away.
