Even less than I thought. And I’m also aware you can pay it over a number of
Years. If $15k is the number a $5k deposit with a pledge to do $10k over 2 years easily gets me in.

Well, we need to find a place to put all those defecting BYU fans. 😉

They need new locker rooms and an actual press area.

Only the south endzone? What would that add. Like 3k seats?

Looks like 51k total. Either way, a nice boost

True, but you're one head coach away from a 180... just like BYU.

No they don’t. College athletics isn’t about waitlists.

It's about $15k if you want to bypass the waitlist plus the seats cost

They don't do that. Once you have your seats you have a right to those seats
