So there are a lot of families with kids living on campus after they graduate?

It's possible that they do live right there. It would be like all the houses just to the East and North of Campus at USF.  Rutgers' main campus (New Brunswick) is actually 5 separate campuses. The College Ave campus is basically in downtown and there are all kinds of houses, condos and residential around it. The free bus to the game is pretty easy if you don't live on the Busch campus.  

In my time at UGA, the stadium is right in town and everyone just walks to the game from their houses. There really isn't any parking. Athens shuts down more or less on game days. Madison, WI also has the same vibe. 

Florida is such a sprawling, car committed environment, I am not sure you could truly mimic it. UF and FSU are "similar" but it is a bit of a walk.

Someone here thought we were around 5-6k season ticket accounts. That's not actually true. 

I asked my ticket rep before the season, and I asked this same question several years ago-we've been hovering around 10k season ticket holders for a while now. I think an OCS will boost that. 

Is # of unique season ticket holders a metric conferences look at? I have tickets with a group of 20+ people and we just have 1 guy buy all the tickets, we pay him, then he distributes them all out

Is VPoA gonna put down several thousands in the name of USF Athletics on the PowerBall? Was that the announcement

My most recent survey monkey showed me that my net promoter score improves 3x when I post more one liners than diatribes. I tried to get around it by just making paragraphs one sentence but that actually scored worse.

The more I read this thread, the more aware I become that as fans we are in the bargaining stage of grief.  So many "Connected" people with "inside info" on how we are getting a shiny new stadium! I didn't realize that everyone on this board had insiders embedded in the athletics department who share confidential info with them.   Its nice to have hope. But there is no way that this program, after YEARS of not being able to get out of their own way, is suddenly going to be able to throw together a plan to, fund, design, and build a stadium in a matter of months for completion in 3-5 years. 

We have people on this board seriously believing that an invite from the AAU is coming, followed by one from the B1G! Seriously take a step back and think of that.   How hard was it for this school to become "pre-eminent"? Does anybody remember how the state legislature tried their best to stop that from happening?  Do you remember that we had USF Lakeland taken from us and converted into a ghost town Poly school by the state?  Now we think that the state reps who did that hatchet job on USF are going to turn around and do all they can to help USF get into a better conference (B1G) than FSU and Miami?  There is no way on earth any of this is going to happen.  

1. AAU is still far away imo. The school likes everyone to believe we are so close like propaganda

2. Without a doubt, the stadium will be announced this year. However, how long will it take to fundraise and gather funds? I do not know. I assume they will follow the CSU model as build classrooms and other campus offices in the stadium.

3. BIG will never invite schools in the South. Only conference that USF will be able to join in my lifetime atleast is Big 12 or ACC by some god given miracle (if FSU leaves for the SEC)

I’m going to say No on the classrooms because the state no longer gives funding for classrooms as part of a stadium building. So that would just add to the cost without income for it. I think what they want to do is build around it a village of dorms with retail space that would bring extra income. Maybe even privately controlled dorms.
