My guess would be that the lower bowl would put our "real seat" capacity around 51,000.

My guess for the entrire endzone done would be around 61,000.
I'm no expert though.

Hey look at Indiana. They currently don't fill their stadium or close to it and they don't have any endzone seating currently. They are adding a huge endzone to their stadium so they have a vision.

And if Iowa loses too many more games...half their stadium will be empty so basically what I am trying to say is if you win the fans come out. We are putting 50-57K in our stadium while sucking.
I could imagine 61,000 tickets versus Nebraska, Iowa, A&M, Texas, OU when we're really goodquote]

I did some interpreting. I figured that's more what you meant

Got ya... Just a matter of time.

Ummmmm.....

""Originally, Phase I was only the suites and club section," Pollard said. "We increased the scope of Phase I because fundraising went really well and season-ticket sales and attendance increased under Coach (Gene) Chizik much sooner than we had expected.""

Sounds like from JP's perspective, fundraising is going fine.

Unlike under BVD, who couldn't raise a dollar if he found 4 quarters lying in the street.
