    I think those plans have been put on hold for a while. I don't really think they're certain with what they want to do and they're against adding more capacity since we can't sell out the current stadium. For awhile I had heard the plan was to bowl it and then chairback the entire lower bowl to keep capacity about the same, but I believe there was some type of structural problem with doing that.

    Your going to see a lot of empty seats this fall and I honestly don’t see a return to full capacity any time soon.

    I tend to agree with this and I don't think it has anything to do with on the field performance. Reduced capacity last year forced the casual fan who might go to 3-4 ballgames a year to watch the game from home and they realized they didn't mind it and saved a few thousand dollars in the process. I don't know that you'll ever get that type of fan back unless you start winning at an incredible clip or you have a massive game, think A&M and Auburn in 14 or Bama in 17.

    My personal opinion, I think your casual MSU sports fan who will casually attend sporting events has crossed over to baseball for the foreseeable future. Until football gets back rolling again, I don’t expect to see a packed house like we did during the end of the Dak era.

    Once football gets rolling again, COVID is behind us, and all of those obstacles are ironed out… maybe but until that time I see the casual fan that provided a few thousand (10ish) seats at the football games will put their support behind baseball and will be at The Dude for a while. Once again, just my opinion.

    And just where are these thousands of fans going to sit?

    Give our football fans a stadium they can be proud of. Open end zones don't belong in the SEC. Its an embarrassing eyesore. Cowbells, Acoustics, louder and shit.

    I disagree. We have a stadium to be proud of; it may not be the biggest but we have a nice stadium and it has a lot of character. I don't mind the open endzone. Just a big bowl is nothing special, everybody got a cheezy bowl - see OM but the stadium sucks. UT is a suck stadium too. Our stadium is nice. Now would I be opposed to something one day, no. I don't think we will be able to justify it for a while though for all the reasons others have listed.

    We're just not naturally a football school. I wish we had more support, but we don't. I don't know how that bodes for the future, but being in the SEC West is absolutely brutal. It's almost impossible to get ahead in our circumstance.

    Bowl it in with a convention center/hotel/retail Restaurant Bar. Put chairbacks on lower level sidelines, reduce capacity and increase prices?casual fan days are over?that being said, I bought season tickets last year but not buying this year.

    This is exactly where I am at as well. I've been hunting in the mountains for atleast 3 of our games the last three years and it's gotten easier to do each time.

    What a loser thread this turned out to be. Good heavens, we're an SEC school, freaking act like it.

    - The M-Club looks awful. It's faded and an eye sore. It's also the most seen building on campus due to TV. It's brutal and needs he demoed and bowled in immediately. It's terrible and an indictment on all of you that you accept it.

    - We are a football school. We were number 1 in 2014, have numerous great NFL players, and have been to bowl games for 11 or so years in a row. Baseball don't pay the bills or build a school brand like football. We darn better be a football school.

    - Does COVID somehow spread quicker at DWS than DNF? Because I saw 20K at DNF for a 17ing parade. A 1.7.I.N.G parade.....quit the COVID excuse. You lost that privilege this baseball season

    - Our football stadium's south end zone is the quite possibly the cheapest looking thing that makes it on Tv in the SEC. It devalues our University and quite frankly, if you don't agree with that, you need to raise your standards in life.

    This woo is me BS has to stop! I agree CFB needs to cut scholarships to increase parity which will increase attendance, but we've got a winning program here that needs the support of its fan base. It's important to the school and state to do so.

    Get your shit together MSU fans. This thread and it's tone are straight trash.

    It ain't happening anytime soon. The MClub looks better than thousands of empty seats would. As I said the next thing planned for the stadium is to bring the east side underneath the stands (the REAL eyesore in our stadium) up to the standard of the rest of the stadium. That is more important to those who actually go to the games than what it looks like on TV. For the record I usually get to a game or three but I watch the rest on TV. Y'all ain't dealing in reality. One more thing, I doubt you are going to see anything new facilities wise that isn't already in an advanced planning stage for a few years. The NIL thing is a major change and who knows how it's going to shake out.
