Agreed - It keeps coming up as an argument, but it doesn't seem like a valid one.

I get the expandable plan....but if you find out (or already know) now that we are jumping, is it more feasible to adjust now than wait until after phase 1?  I would think so.

The right move is to wait and let demand drive the expansion. I think 35K would have been sufficient for conf games the first two years of our last conference step up.

That sounds like a good idea and then hopefully we don't SMU ourselves and go ahead and let revenue pay for any upgrades.
