![]() If everyone who claims to have been there was actually there, we had around 150k people for each game.

![]() At the end of the current expansion boom in the SEC Carolina will rank #13 in luxury seating capacity out of the 14 SEC teams ahead of only Vanderbilt which has none. Tanner was quoted in an article recently stating that WB would have no more major upgrades for a while after the parking lot removal and indoor facility EXCEPT possibly adding luxury suites on the east side to match the west side.

![]() Pretty sure the luxury fans put up the huge dollars to have nice facilities like the dodie which helps bring in blue chips. For those guys it more than just the noise they bring.

![]() [quote=garnet_black215;4164239]Like many of you, I would rather see improvements to the stadium, such as larger bathrooms and concessions and better aesthetics around the outside of the stadium, although the second part has been approved and will look absolutely spectacular once it's completed.
Truthfully, I see no need to expand. 80,250+ works just fine, as evidenced by 18 straight home wins.[/QUOTE I was thinking on the same evidence you site, " evidenced by 18 ..... wins" EXCEPT I would have used that for the opposite point. improved winning typically breeds improved attendance and donation, which breeds more $ incoming to spend on those things that are attractive to high end prospects which, in conjunction with said winning, breeds improved recruiting talent, which, theoritically, breeds still more winning, more support, more demand and thus more $$.....the cycle continues, the snow ball rolls and grows. that is what i hoped and expected to explore the detail of. we may be beginning to see some of that in recruiting. hopefully should we continue to do well the rest will follow. |

Part of the equation of getting people in seats is the opponent. Perennially inferior opponents like UK, Vandy, Ole Miss, etc. will never attract crowds unless they happen to be doing well. Casual fans will be less inclined to go, and may not even watch on TV.

![]() Brad Scott's last year (1-10) was not sold out. Holtz's first year (0-11) was sold out. There was a lot of elbow room in the stadium though.

![]() One of the main reasons that its hard to sell tickets at the stadium is that all of the games are on tv and fans don't go to the games in large numbers without tickets. Last year, every ticket was sold by the University, but not very seat was filled...the scalpers may have had to eat a few tix during the year; however, the University got their money so all was good.

![]() The scoreboard foundation was built to allow it to be raised in the future kind of like the one at UTenn. There have been no expansion plans from the university itself for a few years. The 88-90k was from discussion before the board was built. I think the East Side will be renovated before anything else though.

![]() Everyone from the west but Mizzou, and Kentucky. We all know Kentucky can't even fill half their stands, yet they have no problem expanding.

![]() I believe most schools, South Carolina included, should be thinking of ways to keep the fans they've currently got in the stadium, as opposed to contemplating stadium expansion. Every year it becomes more and more attractive, economical, and feasible to watch games in the comfort of your own home.
