I've seen this mentioned a few times lately in other posts and am wondering, why? How many years has it been since we've had a full stadium and who knows when it will be again? And now I'm also seeing posts saying put in chair backs which will reduce the capacity which is fine, but, spend money to enlarge it too? The national trend is falling attendance so I don't see the reason to bowl it in?
Then you better also start looking for dollar$ from somewhere else too that will fund the scholarships that the Bulldog Club money you are robbing is normally used for. Athletes don't go to school for free, the Bulldog Club is the fund raising arm of the athletic dept that writes the checks to the university for athletes educations.

I don’t think anyone doubts that it’s happening. The question is why the hell it matters if it’s happening. Obviously Arnett has him assigned to some kind of game day role.
You don't like another t?
Agreed. Do something with the M club, sure, but adding seats is the last thing we should be doing
For one thing you can only have so many coaches. It's a NCAA violation. We are the type of school the NCAA tries to use to show they still have balls.
Kinda OT but do a lot of people watch the games from the M club ? I've been in there before but never during a game.
We can decrease seats in the main stands and to make way for chair backs, but we also need to somehow enclose the south end zone. We don’t need to decrease our seating. If we get a football team back in top form, we’ll be wanting those seats back.
Below is a list of all Power 5 programs with a true horseshoe - no seating in one end zone.
Its mainly the upper decks that aren't filling up. If we chairback the entire lower bowl minus the student section and add more access portals on the West side, that will definitely decrease our lower bowl seating capacity and will undoubtedly piss off some loyal fans who get will get booted out. You offset that by bowling in the lower portion of the south endzone with chair back seating and making it a club level and let the current season ticket holders in the lower bowl have top priority for moving to that area. The M Club can go on top of that section. It doesn't have to be as large and grand as the north endzone. I'm betting by doing this we would still have an overall reduction of seats.
As far as I know, we can use TV money for scholarships. We can't use TV money (directly) for NIL.
Upper and lower levels last week both had lots of fans dressed up as empty seats. Lots on this forum ***** about visitors sitting in MSU sections, what happens to those tickets when its not an Alabama, LSU, or Georgia fan sitting there? That's right, they are empty
Yeah I'd definitely be pretty pissed if I got pushed out of a West side seat for a "club level" end zone seat that would cost more than my old West side seats because of the "Club", pissed enough to say 17IT and stay home. It's too easy today to opt out and stay home and watch when there isn't a big demand for seating, you'll end up w/ an empty end zone and empty chair backs on the West side too.
A. I don't think an 11am kick vs Western Michigan after 3 straight losses is the best measurement for fan interest/attendance.
You can only have so many coaches that are allowed to go off-campus to recruit, and interact with players in the offseason. But on campus and on gameday, you can have as many folks out there as you want.
But they cannot coach. You can only have I think 9 or 10 "not sure" coaches on the field coaching. That's the rule and I am pretty sure Peterson is not telling Arnett the cup smell like ***. If what you are saying is true Bama would have 85 coaches on the sideline.
Well, first off, if he’s just talking to Arnett, he isn’t coaching. He’s only coaching if he’s giving instruction to players.
