First Game in New Stadium

If we can't sell out the first game at the new stadium we should stay at the old one.

So if we get 50K at the new stadium we should play at a 36K beat up stadium instead?

" If wishes were fishes" or "horses". Texas is major money even for the Pac12. They would certainly have an hard time dictating to the Pac 12. Imagine a Texas/UNLV game in the dome. Wishes, maybe.

 

[mvvsmith]

Of course the NFL in Vegas started out with a similar statement. We just proved Vegas can make wishes come true. Again.

I say we get the best team possible in the conference we want to be in. so, for PAC 12 lets get USC and for BIG 12 Oklahoma or Texas. If we win, we earn the right and if we lose as long as its close it will show we can play with the big boys.

BIG 12 is imploding. UNLV doesn't need to be in the blast radius, shrapnel smarts.

 

[mvvsmith]

Push Texas and UNLV in the PAC 12.

No, I'm just saying we should be able to sell that one out. I'll be coming from Kansas City. I'm sure many others will be coming from out of town as well. This game will be more than just a football game, a new beginning for our football program. Hell, I bet whoever we play brings a boatload of fans.

I will defintely buy a ticket to the first game and keep it!

I say go big too.

Get Wisconsin back in the rotation. Stadium could be jam packed, all red, those photos would be stock use for years to come.

I like Wisconsin for that reason. We play ASU that season that could work too. They should play a crap road team for the first game, a gimme that can be a warm up, then debut new stadium against someone like a Wisconsin, UCLA, Arkansas...otherwise ASU could fit the bill. Personally I would love to play Oregon if they get back on track.
