If you want to read something that will make you sick, look up the Kansas plan to update their football stadium. Their antique stadium currently seats 47,233. Like Iowa State they have been convinced that they need to add areas for conference, dining, recreation, entertainment, theater, and lodging in the area around their stadium. As a result, most parking will be lost and no one knows where people will park. Also, even with moving the stands closer to the field (removing the track) they will need to reduce the seating to capture the land area needed for the outside development.
Because in the 5 down years between 2015 and 2019 they had average attendance of 26.610 the consultant wants to reduce the stadium to 39,839 seats.
Apparently other schools with poor football programs and attendance are building smaller more intimate football stadiums.
Perhaps this is just another move by the basketball oriented athletic department to eliminate the football program, and just demo the old stadium and turn the area into a large bar.
