I'd like to see the stadium expanded to 120,000 seats, but leave the end zone shot of the library open.
Every game would still sell out.
I realize that there are environmental concerns thereby attendant.

I always said make it bigger. But I've changed my stance, or at least slowed down on it. With how hard it is becoming to sell out NFL/College games because of how awesome livingroom setups are nowadays, I think they should keep it under 90,000. I'd rather sell out at 85K than have 100,000 and only sell out for the big games.

And ND's never gonna sell beer at games, so that incentive is out.

JMO.

Why stop there? 250,000 and be the biggest in the world(Is the biggest stadium still in North Korea?)

Every game would definitely not sell out. We only graduate ~2000 people/year. Bandwagon fans aren't gonna pay ND prices for season tickets. Hell, they're having trouble selling out for the Rice game. And the UMass opener in a few years? They'd sell out for the big games and otherwise it would be an enormous stadium that was quiet as hell. The loudest part of the stadium is the student section ~8000 strong. Make them an even smaller percentage of the total crowd and the place will be a mausoleum.

The article says home games will not be affected at all. I'm guessing because they are just tacking things on, no seats will be taken up or anything.

That's some serious bullshit. We were supposed to graduate in the stadium and construction not planned to begin until after. Boo this.

I mean, you still get to graduate in the stadium, right?

My class was the second to do that and it was still pretty rad.

Ask them WTF is going on. Geez Jimmy, you don't deserve to graduate with the lack of effort you've put in on this investigation.

Not sure what has been posted on the video board topic but here is a post from TJ and will most likely be his last as the season is starting he won't post much during the season.

TJ,

There will be video boards in the newly renovated ND Stadium come 2017. Larger one likely in the South EZ, with smaller ones in the NW and NE EZs probably. They will be tastefully done and utilized.

Wi-Fi also likely throughout the Stadium.

Games at ND can be awesome... The Michigan game this year was amazing. But we do have a decent number of flat atmosphere games. That's hardly unusual however, as I've heard even tiger stadium is boring if it's not a night game or marquee opponent.

Yea I know they can be a great atmosphere. I was at Michigan this year and some of the exciting USC games. But on average, there's no way we are even in the top 10.

My comment has nothing to do with the ND gameday experience as I believe we have the best in the country. I'm just talking about purely how difficult it is for teams to play in our stadium.

Navy x2
Michigan x3
USF
etc. all recently.
