That's not true at all. I went to 4 home games last year
We're about to be a $130 mil per year athletic program. My guess is that we can do both.

In all seriousness, I'm still lost on the whole hotel thing. Official renderings were put out, but there's never been any talk about it. Was that just leaked? Is that an official idea or not? I've never seen something like that come out and essentially get ignored (as far as I can remember anyway).
I would put chairback throughout the entire stadium except for visitor's seats and students. We would lose some seats in the process. Then I would mirror the south endzone with the north endzone. We don't need more than 70k seats (if that many).
Though another option would be to take the Dudy Noble model and put condo/suites in the south endzone above new seating that mirrored the north end zone.
First thing I?d do to upgrade the stadium is make every seat chair back with a cup holder. Bleachers absolutely suck.
Speaking of going, where do most out-of-towners park when they go to DWS? I?d like to start going to at least one game a year but I don?t want to pay $400 a night to stay at a hotel that?s within walking distance of the stadium. There are much cheaper alternatives in the Golden Triangle area, but then I?d have to find some place to park.
To me, this is actually the first question that needs to be asked. The answer to this question directly effects what you do in the South end zone.
Doing the math, putting chair backs in will decrease the stadium by 20% making DWS a 48,000 sear stadium. If you do that, then you need to build a 13-15 K seat end zone.
JMO, but the first thing is to get into it more often... That'd pay for whatever upgrades are desired.
A very big multi level bar.
I figured you would have said to put a dome over it.
Removing the present building and leaving it empty would look better.
T. Boone Pickens stadium. Makes everything look finished off, and does not add extra seats we won't fill

Whatever is built in the SEZ needs to have an MSU Athletic Hall of Fame and museum attached to it that open to the public and available to rent out for receptions and meetings.
I’ll be damned if they build another 17ing clock museum on prime real estate
