If this might actually happen IMO to get more bang of the buck and preserve the unique approach and attraction that SU basketball is an enclosed stadium is the only thing that makes sense.
 
It should attempt to keep the basic layout of the sections to preserve the sight lines and proximity to the field, add individual seats in much, if not all of, the stadium, widen the concourses by 2x. 
 
The tow recent euro stadiums should be looked, right size, right price point to cover both football and basketball.   $425 would be about as much as it would cost to build a new 45K open air football stadium and a 20K basketball arena and between the two you would lose capacity for both and an enclosed football and lax facility here in South Canada.
