Realistically what would we have gotten for our games thus far this year if our program had been like Wisconsin the last few years and if the Dome was 44k or 50k? IMO it would be:

Rhode Island - I think you sell out a 44k Dome, but it would be difficult. A 50k Dome would have 7-8k empty seats. Remember that in the 90s we didn't play 1AA teams. Remember we used to get plenty of 42k games when McNabb was here.

Wake and CMU - I think it would be the same as Rhode Island. At 44k you can push the allure of selling out. Otherwise you get around 42k for these games. Which makes a 50k stadium too big.

LSU and Clemson - I think we sell out LSU and could sell out Clemson at a 50k Dome.

Pitt and BC - we sell out a 44k Dome for sure. A 50k Dome I think we see around 45-46k for both. Again no need for the bigger stadium.

So of the 7 games we would only really need significantly more than 44k twice. And that is a good year where we have a program at Wisconsin's level. More often than not we will have worse teams than that. Those years we need even less seats. So people really want a 50k stadium atht will only be filled twice a year SHOULD we have a good team?
