Kansas could be a very easy one to get well past 50k. If students are gone, just run a special like the Okie State one. There's plenty of demand around to snatch up those tickets.

Disagree. I think 56,800 will be the ceiling with the current stadium format. Even if we're monkeying with the numbers a bit, what helps you make the case for a major stadium improvement? Setting a new stadium attendance record by a few hundred patrons for a big game each year, or bumping up against the ceiling with "sell outs" at the same frequency? I'd say it's the latter, and I don't think we'll see that ceiling move again until the south endzone is done.
It's all about exiting. If you have a new SEZ, and along with it, you bring an appropriate exit strategy - you can add a decent amount of people. I can't tell you how many, but this is the way it works.
ISU heading to the "MAC conference" rumors were the most inane, irresponsible predictions ever by a collection of dooooshbag rival fans and in-state media here.
ISU in the last three years averaging over 50,000/game for FB, while the MAC averaged 16,800 in 2012
good gawd these pundits are morons
50,000+ vs 16,800. how dumb are these people?

Iowa State is also one of just a handful of teams to go both bowling and make the tournament the last two years in a row.
The SEZ is kind of like the Crazy Horse memorial. Something I would really like to see completed in my lifetime. I think I have a better chance with the SEZ than Crazy Horse.
I still find it hilarious that the Crazy Horse Memorial is being "built" in Custer County, SD...

If 56,800 is the ceiling, I think it is a soft ceiling that JP is using for his purposes, not a hard ceiling from the fire department.
But, if there's no gardens then this surely cannot be complete. Because they are priority.
Im not an engineer, but the upper deck needs to wrap around as much as it can. It seems to me you could add a section on each side and still be OK.
Nope. It was announced last season. 56,800 is a hard ceiling. They can't let anyone in after that.
JTS has issues handling a crowd of 52,000. If the endzone gets bowled in things should be done to ease the current issues. If you add seats you do things to raise the 56,800 ceiling.
