I think (or hope) that the program will settle into a typical 6 year stretch of the below. Basically 2009-2013 and 2016-2022 without 2020.

Year 1
A 4 W type of team that is competitive in their losses
Like 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017

Year 2
A 6 W reg season team that isn't exciting and barely makes a Bowl
Like 2010, 2013

Year 3
A 5 W team that couldn't break through for that 6th W
Like 2011, 2019, 2021

Year 4
An 8 W reg season team that is exciting and can beat just about anyone
Like 2012

Year 5
A 9 W reg season team that ends the year ranked
Like 2018

Year 6
A 7 W reg season let down
Like 2013

and then repeat the cycle.

That would give us a Bowl in 4 out of 6 years. Really, taking away 2014 and 2020 we have basically been in that cycle post GRob.

I think that type of team would draw between 37,500 and 42,500 for most opponents. FCS and G5 teams might be lower in the 32,500 to 37,500 range. Big name teams and ranked matchups will be in the 42,500 to 47,500 range. That will typically be only one game per year, if that. Since the majority of our games are below 42,500 do we need a bigger stadium than that?
