Here is what Boise's stadium will look like when the current expansion is done. They must have one of the endzone's already bowled in because it looked like it on ESPN this morning.
The pressbox is already the size that is shown in the picture above. About 3 times the size of our pressbox.
Hmmm... kinda quiet since I posted that pic? Crickets.
We have some work to do with the Jack.
I guess going to BCS Bowl games almost every year helps, huh?
Kansas State.
It bugs me because JTS will be way better than this if we can get it bowled in with both decks... Boise State's stadium may look a little nicer after it's all said and done but the seating capacity kills it, look at that lower deck... tiny.Quote:

If they did then that would indicate maybe ISU is not a good school as far as alumni doing well financially after they graduate. There is plenty of alumni money out there but because so many ISU grads are out of state they lose touch. There just isn't a tradition of giving for athletic donations like there is at other schools. Heck, I know a big money ISU grad in the Washington D.C. area. He has never donated a dime to the athletic department nor has he ever been asked to. He can't make it back for games and never really gets to see them on tv. So from his perspective, why should he give? If 275 thousand alumni just donate 10 dollars a year to the athletic department it would equal 2,750,000 dollars. Combined that with the big donors we do have and we should easily be able to put enough down after letting those number accumulate for a couple of years. I think Clemson has a deal where the majority of their alumni send 10 dollars to the athletic department every year.

Watched the TCU/SMU game last night and wasn't really impressed with the SMU stadium with the grass hills in both endzones.
Ummmm, no. Have you been there since they bowled in the end zone?Quote:
