Great photo. The aerial view shows just how challenging it was to shoehorn an expanded Nippert into that space. And the difficulty, if not impossibility, of adding more seats if it becomes a necessity for conference realignment scenarios.

Having said that, I really don't expect that UC will need to worry about that and will enter the P5, realize an acknowledged P6, or gain a more competitive funding model through a massive restructuring of the top 80 or 90 schools atop the FBS food chain.

Apples to oranges a little here, but Duke basketball has less than half the seating capacity of Tennessee but rafters full of championship banners. If Brian Kelly was the first to say it, Nippert IS the Wrigley Field of college football. That's a terrific way to market the Nippert experience to fans. But also to the rest of the college football world which is receiving a crash course in Cincinnati Bearcats football of late.
