Hey, you asked the question...

Personally, there are about 7,363 other things I care about with this program more than than the notches in the corners of the endzone that people constantly complain about but are definitely never going to be restored to what they were before they were torn out.

Actually, it’s not so much the notches, but the 1,200 or so crappy sideline seats they tore out. That would have been a great place to park paying opposing team guests. Seats are already too few as are the dollars needed to fund a top program.


Didn’t make sense to me then, doesn’t make sense to me now.
Wow I did not realize it was that many! Putting guests in those is an excellent idea.

It was around that number. Someone feel free to correct me.

Yea! Stick right next to the student section. That would be a smart move. How many coonskin caps would disappear when WVU comes to town?

Shame on me for not knowing when the tickets went on sale, but it's times like this when I wish the stadium was bigger.

Will UC consider increasing the capacity of Nippert in the not too distant future?

CAN UC consider increasing the capacity of Nippert...

That's the real question. Personally, I think there could be some marginal increases, but we're in the mode, at this point, of talking about diminishing returns. Every move now is going to be increasingly expensive for a smaller and smaller gain.

Personally, I think UC should embrace Nippert's size at this point. Nippert is a one-of-a-kind stadium; it's size and footprint is really unique. Nippert is the antithesis of the "huge, concrete, bowl" stadium. Quality, not quantity, is going to be Nippert's calling card going forward.

And, let's face it... In this time of huge price increases in ticket prices not to mention record hyper-inflation in things like gasoline and food, the idea of selling out a 70K stadium...even for the BIG programs...is past. Not to mention the uncertainty that comes with the shifting landscape of college athletics. The days of even OSU selling out Ohio Stadium to host, say, a Miami of Ohio are going to be disappearing. People are not going to be able to afford coming out to "just any game"...especially when they can watch it on TV. People are having to make harder and harder decisions on where their limited money is going.

Nippert's "Friendly Confines" is going to be an asset, I think. WVU and Iowa State who have large, sterile concrete bowls are going to struggle more...both have fan bases that have to drive longer distances just to get to the game. Baylor just got out of their old, large, concrete bowl for a more intimate, 45k stadium. TCU in recent history rebuilt their stadium but did not increase capacity, favoring luxury additions. Nippert, being a historic and beautiful stadium (notches and all), is perfectly suited to the days to come.

Bolded, yes. What's the basketball capacity at Cameron Indoor for Duke? Something north of 9,000 as I recall and there was still room for plenty of national championship banners. Apples to oranges a bit I know as that is basketball and this is football. But I don't see a cheap or easy path to expansion, so just stuff it with people each game and let the talking heads on TV rave about the energy, the noise, and the amazing setting in a natural bowl in the center of our beautiful campus.

Perhaps if we have an architect or construction engineer herein, they can educate us.

If the upper decks were extended towards Dieterle, how feasible and could it be done in 8 months such that games need not be moved to PBS.

Same questions if Club/Suites were added on east side?

No game is going to be "made" to move to PBS.
