A billion dollars and still can only get 20k in there

Why is this board so obsessed with empty stadiums?

Should have invested the billion dollars, taken the 80 million per year in interest and put it into NIL and chased national championships.
Then they could have filled the old stadium.

Ryan Field was a staple of youth watching a 12:00 game on ESPN2 in freezing weather.

because in case you haven't noticed, CFB is being turned into money chasing up and down shite teams all over the country.

Not sure about that. There were a ton of Iowa fans there.
Insert joke about two Iowa farm wives in attendance.

I never understood why they built that thing. I don't know enough about Northwestern to make sweeping judgements, but I never thought their football team would get enough support to be able to justify building that stadium. It seems like a school much more focused on academics than sports. I guess if the stadium host other events it could be worth it.
They probably needed a new one, but did they need a billion dollar stadium? Perhaps that's just the cost of stadiums now days.

shite. Invest half of it and use the $500 mil to renovate your old stadium.

why does a board obsessed with college football care about half empty college football stadiums?

Most stadiums around the country are half empty.

Northwestern is so much closer to being a power house than you could ever imagine. Amazing campus, amazing facilities, big time city, good coach now…. Now all they gotta do is buy players now.

Schools that can barely get 30,000 fans to a game aren’t close to being a power house

Isn’t a very important factor. Fans would show up. And more important the alumni donations are there easily whenever needed
