I agree...Once we get firmly entrenched in the ACC and see how our attendence is trending (I think we'll see a 10% uptick next year assuming DM can get us 5-7 wins) then I think the 10 year plan should be to build a retractable roof stadium with at least 44-50k seats...but engineer it to be able to expand it quickly with another 6-12k seats.  Also, consideration should be made to improve a BB layout inside the new stadium.  This would be an awesome research project for Architechure students at SU...to come up with some designs. 
 
To me South Campus/Drumlins with an interchange on I-481 and road improvments to other feeder roads makes most sense.  Another option if the school continues with a 2nd campus in/near Armory might be to place it somewhere between The Hill and Armory.  That would require a huge State/City/University effort but has a high chance of ending ugly when the 24 hr news cycle, politics and Special Interest Groups clash.  I have little faith in NY politics.
 
Finally, the best way for this to proceed is a mix of money...State/School and private.  It should be part of a bigger plan to include retail, residential (Dorms, Apartments, Condos) and entertainment.
