Actually it is the stadium in Little Rock which usually hosts a game each year.

BTW, I thought Colorado State's stadium was well done on a cost per seat basis.

TCU is adding more suites, loge seats, and club seats to the east side of the stadium. That is where the big money is made.

TCU has come a long way in 15 years...amazing. Been to a few bowl games in Ft Worth before the bulk of the remodel.

I've seen teams from the south come up and fade in heat and humidity. Different type of heat. Like playing in a stuffy gym

UNC-CHeat is creatively dealing with a decline in attendance by installing individual seats. Will result in a loss of 12,000 seats.

It will make a half empty stadium look more full so can't fault them for that.

Certainly they've lowered their national expectations for the program though.

So in 2019, ECU and UNC will have about the same capacity? Wow...

It all began in 1998 with a new Chancellor(TCU's President), a new Athletic Director, and a new Football Coach. The results have been amazing.

UMass who built a new 5,800 square foot Press and Sky Box along with 55,000 square foot performance center, which opened in 2014 for 36.5M

UMass RFP proposals are due by the end of this month with construction beginning in March 2019 and completion by June of 2020 for an IPF Bubble, 20 by 42 foot HD Video board, new shot clocks, and displays on the Performance Center, removal of south wall for fan/visitor hospitality area, ADA upgrades to existing bathrooms, new bathrooms and concession areas, ADA upgrades (hand railings, ramp access, and walkways) to the east side of the stadium, which will pave the way for future expansions in an incremental fashion.
