Would the BOT even be involved with the retail/dining development project? It would not be USC money being spent on those.
Turn that end into a great premium seating section with an inside concession concourse accessible from both main sides of the stadium. Holding that end-zone hostage to the Floyd Building is outrageous. Just do something great down there and name it for them, I don't care.
You can count on it. But don't worry, Tanner said capacity will not drop below 70,000.
It means more money. Get in step. You have to enlarge the footprint to add seats if you take seats away for suites. We ain't enlarging the footprint.
WHY DON'T we get rid of FRANK'S BOY AND HIRE A REAL FOOTBALL COACH???
We've made it this far without it becoming a priority. It's totally incidental now.
Most of those seats are bought up by people looking to resale them at a HUGE profit. All the ticket sites are full of these seats. They would never be empty if they sold them to real fans at a decent price.
Maybe so. But they're empty. They're clearly not being bought by people who want to go to the games. The face value of an SC ticket is a decent price and East Upper and South Upper generally aren't part of the season ticket distribution, and we rarely sell out more than a week in advance. So regular fans can buy those tickets direct from the university easily as long as they don't wait till the last minute.
Buying seats for resale that mostly don't get resold seems like a stupid business model to me.
We rarely pack the 77k we have.
If you go 5-7 every year, you won't need 77k seats. When you reduce capacity, it's a sure sign the program is in decline.
I believe I read where the luge seating at the Gamecock entrance tunnel and seats that were added to the East Side club level combined to reduce seating to the current 77,000 level.
Yep. That was a pretty damning self assessment. Ray was content to coast along instead of jamming the throttle.
