All sports are trending to lesser in person attendance and greater watching remotely on television or the Internet. Having a smaller stadium you can fill with the more die hard fans and students seems an advantage to me.

Exactly this. It's not as if the UCF was sold out weeks in advance either. Maybe we can figure out a way to add 2,000 or so temporary/ SRO seats for huge games, but it's really not needed, particularly because of the trend you cite.

One example just down the street from me. Portland has a serious MLB ownership team in place, and they're likely to get a team (either through Oakland or Tampa moving, or expansion) in the next few years. The stadium they've designed holds 34,000, which I'd argue is just about perfect for the stadiums of the future. Keep Nippert at 40K.
