Jack Trice Capacity

[cytech]

So for people worrying about empty seats its not like we are going to be pushing 84,000 seats and only have 58,000 people there. The capacity is staying the same really. Just improving JT 1000 percent.

So now all we need is some money
Do you think Principal is still rumored to be donating? Ok that was bad...

I was counting on winning the Powerball jackpot tonight. But atleast no one else won either so there is still hope come Wednesday

Couldn't we have a huge fund raiser driven by Jeremy.

25,000 Cyclones fans donate $300 or more for $10 million to kick off Project!! Get your name put on a brick or something???

I'll donate all my credits, plus every credit I every get for the rest of my life if it will help.

Honestly, I don't think it will happen until after the 2010 season- at the earliest. We are still 2-4 years out at least, unless something magical happens. Maybe now that Hilton Magic is dead we can have some Trice Magic.

A side note- I just looked at the project website and it says the completion date for the east concourse is October '09. Something tells me it's wrong.

By what the NCAA was told and they in turn told EA Sports that Jack Trice Stadium hold around 57,000 to 58,000 people. Now from what I have hear about the new addition to the south endzone is that it should put us at 60,000 to 62,000 (that is counting hillside to for both). Plus everyone says it's hard to recuit for ISU, I not with that stadium it won't be. With that place and if Rhoads starts turning our team around the sky is the limit. winning seasons+ more money= championship. So I say build that thing and quick.

people worry about the look of the stadium rather than the skill of our team.

wow you're dumb. one way to get recruits is to have great facilities. it isn't usually the biggest selling point, but it sure as hell helps. which in turn gives us a better team because we have better players coming.

Yeah I would be surprised if it wasn't done in time for the first game. Maybe they will have the concourse restrooms and concessions done in time for kick off but will still be working on the plaza.

I'm hoping we put another section on each of the north end zones to curve around towards the walkway some day...

I know you will say "oh but we had 56000 at such and such a game" but why add on when all there will be there is empty seats.

And the only reason people some to those games with larger crowds is because its warm and theres nothing better to do.
