Agreed on all points, just trying to maximize seats while minimizing cost. I don’t have a problem moving the students to the end zone especially with my time at Toomey but I imagine there would be some uproar about what was communicated/promised back ahead of construction.

What number could capacity get to by just filling in the berms (and then I imagine the fire marshal’s “official” capacity would be slightly more)? Knock out the easy and relatively inexpensive adds first.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they have lost 27 of their last 34 games over 2+ seasons.

Yeah let’s play the likes of Northern Colorado, the students and fans will love that.

Reality:

…can we slide into the PAC’s DMs this week, Rocko?

Have we done the storm trooper look but with a blue script Davis instead of the CA logo? If not…that would look pretty slick as well.

Maybe they can all ride horses like the Chancellor.

In the south, it doesn’t matter who you play - the stadium is packed. Tennessee could play Sisters of the Poor and there would be 105,000 in attendance.

Can confirm. And it could be during the Tuesday night MAC-tion slot - does not matter.

Yes, but you’ve heard of Kennesaw State because of….?

I’m in the engineering field. Have to explain time and time again that Davis is in the same university system as Cal. Barf.

Move out of state y’all and see how nobody has heard of Davis, and then look at all the crap academic schools everyone is knowledgeable of because of athletics. Your diploma would instantly become more valuable.

It’s okay, everyone - while Slack’s leadership plots their next move, the Chancellor will be on horseback before the game.

Agreed - just start tossing free stuff on 3rd & 3’s and 4th & 1’s. Doesn’t matter what it is.

New this morning from Yahoo Sports:

While SEC and Big Ten leaders mull major changes, a new Super League concept looms that could radically alter college sports

https://sports.yahoo.com/while-sec-and-big-ten-leaders-mull-major-changes-a-new-super-league-concept-looms-that-could-radically-alter-college-sports-130031534.html

For reference, summing together the current B1G, SEC, ACC, XII and Notre Dame is a total of 69 schools (I assume some would not be included in this).

In my opinion, if this were to occur (where there’s smoke - and boatloads of money - there’s fire), this would significantly impact both the interest level and financial standing for a fair amount of FCS teams.

Looks like something that would have come out of The Grad, sigh.

Stanford also is a private university that only needed to obtain permits from Santa Clara County, with whom they coordinated often given the amount of (re)development that constantly occurs on-campus (I was involved in some of it - not the stadium). So, less red tape.

I’m just thinking off the top of my head here - it’s an unforced error to tweet out the rendering with another level of seating when you can accomplish nearly the same attendance-wise for a fraction of the cost by filling in the berms and extending the current deck on the visiting side, if needed, with seating going “above ground” on structural member frames. :chin: (we need an emoji with glasses for this kind of stuff)

As soon as I saw all the camera angles they had (or lack thereof) I knew it was going to stand as called (either way, good thing it was called a TD). No way to overturn.

If Slack moves to the PAC-12, we could be undefeated and win a natty and nobody outside our little community would give a crap.

Asleep at the wheel. What a joke.
