Thanks for posting pics and video, nothing like living through other schools excitement about their new on campus stadium. Guess it will just remain a pipe dream here in Memphis!! So jealous

As of opening day. Should it be necessary plans are in place for two expansions to raise the capacity to 60k.

We have no plans to increase capacity. And I dare say we likely will never increase capacity as long as we play in a G5 league.
We did, however, prepare for expansion by building a foundation that will allow us to expand relatively cheaply should a P5 league ever come calling. To that end, we designed and built the foundation for complete 60,000 seat stadium, then cut certain things out including 20,000 seats to produce what you see now.

Isn't that what I said?
