An OCS won't increase attendance, need commitment from fans first.

Build an OCS for 55k ? Probably.

The good thing is we'll be making money on concessions. Probably won't be parking ... Which we'll hear some complain about and want RayJay ...

No way possible to build a stadium OCS for us for $55M. Won't happen.

I got the impression that he meant 55 thousand fans, not 55 million dollars for a stadium. That would be a joke lol

Correct. 55k does not equal 55 million.

We don't need anything larger than 50,000

Agreed. 50 - 55k max. But needs to have expansion capabilities.

My major concern is that we compromise and build a sub par stadium cheaply just to build one. If it isn't at least comparable in some of the features to our current stadium we should just wait. For an analogy, if we are leasing a nice Cadillac STS today, we can compromise and buy a nicely equipped Toyota Camry. But there is no reason to settle for an entry level Ford Fiesta just to have our own car.

I think everyone has made it pretty clear that we will build the OCS just like we have been building all of our other new facilities- wait until we can afford to build it as a top tier stadium, nothing like the tin can in orlando.

USF has been building good quality facilities. This will be the same for our OCS that we get someday. Don't doubt it.

So who has the better OCS - UCF or FAU? My vote is FAU.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
