Yep----A week before the BIG12 chose (THE 4) I posted a thread with the real reason why WE WOULD NOT BE #2 ON EVERYBODY'S LIST ONLY BEHIND CINDY. I was demonized
DAYS AFTER WE WERE NOT #2 in EVERYONE'S LIST ONLY BEHIND CINCINNATI ---Calkins wrote the article implying the same thing that I said a week before we were left out---and was not #2 on everyone's list only behind CINDY
On the topic of OCS and LIBERTY MEMORIAL STADIUM----a lack of OCS has ZERO to do with it
If we build a OCS it should 55K plus-----WHY YOU ASK--BECAUSE THE BIG12 has told BOISE to INCREASE the seats at their stadium that now is 37K
I say either way ---we build or stay at MEMPHIS MEMORIAL STADIUM--we will need the seats if we get in a POWER 5
THe BIG12 has told Boise to increase the seats---I can just hear the excitement of the BIG12 when we tell them that we will be LIMITING the number of fans that can come to our games
DOES ANYONE ON HERE REALLY THINK THAT ITS BETTER TO HAVE 40K fans in a sell-out AS OPPOSED to 49K fans in a 60K seat stadium
MEMPHIS HAS THOUSANDS of fans that CAN'T AFFORD SEASON TICKETS---but have been attending 2-3 games a year FOR 40 YEARS. BUILDING a mickey mouse 40K seat stadium would screw 3/4 of the fanbase---that walk up buy tickets when they are able
If ATTENDANCE was a factor ----we would have gotten in when they chose the 4
HAVING EMPTY SEATS DID NOT KEEP US OUT
LOL YEAH IT MAKES SENSE TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF FANS AT GAMES LOL----
PEOPLE ON HERE SAYING MAKE IT 40K and we can expand it later LOL-----WE ALREADY HAVE A STADIUM THAT WE DON"T HAVE TO EXPAND LATER
LOL--yeah make it 40K and tell the thousands of TIGER fans that CAN'T AFFORD SEASON TICKETS --screw you we will expand 10 years from now so you POOR people can attend
AGAIN they told BOISE to expand----our people on here think its a good idea to DECREASE the attendance at our games LOL
I can here it now --HEY BIG12 --you told BOISE to go to 50K plus---but we think its better to have 40K fans than occasionally having 45K 50K +55K + because we think its bad to have empty seats ---even though FOR YEARS WE HAVE AVERAGED MORE FANS THAN UCF--HOU--CINN----WE THINK ITS BETTER TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF FANS THAT CAN ATTEND OUR GAMES----and no we do not think we will be the LAUGHING STOCK of the NATION with thinking that its better to have LESS FANS THAN MORE FANS
