I can assure you that UofL doesn't give a rats tail about your Stadiums capacity or how UK counts their ticket sales. What they care about is winning the Football game.
Bozich: Louisville Averaged 49,000 fans for home games in 15

I'm not sure how you add suites/loges in the endzone without creating space for regular seats as well.
This expansion should've been done before the party deck and other uppers. It will look nice - but the 10-15k empty seats will be a drag for recruiting...it just looks tacky (UK fans know - had 70k capacity and 55k fans)
UL may not lose $, but it will lose atmosphere and will look empty to recruits wondering why the upper deck is a ghost town.
I hope they try to expand to 100k

Exact perfect Little Brother mentality, your soul is focused on 1 game a year. Thanks for providing that, does a better job explaining who you are than I ever could.
Do we really care that you and UofLsucksville exist.
Why is it that Looserville fan can come over here and try to justify their existence but when we go there we get banned even when being civil.
Expand all they want but they will never be more then a middle of the pack ACC team if that.
Who gives a crap on this board. Go to your fantasy land board and post this. Your not relevant here, we don't care about your scummy coaches, thuggish program, the ACC stadiums...... Good grief gtfo.
Jurich has made it clear that there will be no bleachers. We will either do it right, or we won't be doing it at all.
No, this time (as was done with the UPS Flight Deck) we will be using the type of red and black seats that are resistant to sun bleaching. That lesson was definitely learned and not forgotten from the original construction.
Congratulations for having the largest crowd ever to see you get your red *** whipped. Fly away now please
There are and have been several teams in the ACC with small stadiums ( UVA, GA TECH, DUKE, N Carolina) that have been in the league for years and aren't expanding because of freaking Notre Dame.
You people are so Fn dense sometimes.

Why Expand?
It's not exactly rocket science, folks...you do it for two primary reasons:
1) increase program revenue, and
2) grow program support
To think Louisville is embarking on a major expansion project simply for stadium capacity bragging rights, is asinine, and non-sustainable. One thing that Jurich has "always done, and done extremely well," is maximize revenues for his department, while creating, maintaining, and expanding facilities whenever the above two listed criteria can be met. You simply don't make an expansion decision based upon % capacity of actual people that show up, nor do you spend lots of $$ to "not" meet the above-listed objectives. That's reckless spending, and not something Jurich has done. Past expansion & building projects under his watch have produced favorable results for the Athletic Department because proper due diligence has been exercised in the areas of planning, financing & feasibility study.
Nobody likes the view and/or perception of thousands of empty seats against opponents of "lesser" attraction when a sector of the fan base decides not to attend for whatever reason, the casual customer (which Jurich has been very successful tapping into while growing the fan base), but there are inherent advantages that go along with that negative. Obviously, if you're selling the product, and expanding the market of the entities sending $$ to your program, then you're growing, and the desire for expansion exists. And if new created debt obligation can be effectively paid down with the new revenue streams, then the endeavor becomes feasible. Again, it's not exactly rocket science. And if he were making expansion decisions based on what some of you claim, then he would be making critical financial mistakes and he wouldn't be employed very long.
There's been a great deal of $$ and time spent on the feasibility aspect of this project. I'm sure it wouldn't be advanced if adequate evidence of financial viability didn't exist, and I'm sure those financial projections will be converted to solid commitments before the first shovel ever penetrates the subsurface.
So basically even if the stands are 10,000 empty for a ACC conference game, who cares? We got money for suites and boos! [laughing]
Thank you ajcardman. Reading some of these posts and I''ve constantly just been repeating over and over in my head "does he really believe that?"
Why UL is expanding is blatantly obvious or they wouldn't be doing it. They aren't expanding for stadium bragging rights, they aren't expanding for Notre Dame and they aren't expanding for no reason. They are expanding because every study and report they've done has told them that an expansion can generate revenue and grow support. End of story.
You don't open a second store for your business if you haven't done the market research to see if the new location can support your store and you don't add on 10,000 seats without doing the research to see if its a good idea.

I'm more concerned with us beating their butts than how many butts are in their seats.
If UofL reports tickets scanned they must have thousands that walk in and get their ticket scanned then turn around and leave.
LOL at their bogus numbers and their gullible fans that believe that crap.

None of those programs are in cities that are both less than 4 hours from South Bend and home to a very large population of Catholics.
To be clear, we aren't building it for Notre Dame. As we did with the UK-UofL series, where we capitalized on that to build the original PJCS, we are capitalizing on Notre Dame's first visit to PJCS in order to raise the funds needed for the project.

PS- We're not done.

Yep. Growth in recruits pants that is. And apparently Montrizzzle is already done.

Yup. Third place in the DIVISION two years running in a watered down ACC.
The only growth is from the school officials lining their pockets with state funded money.
You realize that UNC and Virginia Stadium capacities are over 60K...UNC Football Stadium-(Kenan Stadium) is 63K and UVa Football Stadium-(Scott Stadium) is 61K...Louisville is currently at 55K and one of the smallest in the ACC...
So...does not matter and if Louisville wants to expand their stadium so be it especially since apparently it is going to be done on their dime and corporate donations. They can spend their $$$ on how they see fit...

Here we go. Just like all the other bad ideas, it looks like the folks in rural KY will have to pay for another bad idea at loserville. I just hope the new Gov stops all the flow of cash(tax dollars) from the rest of KY to pay for things in loserville. The city and university need to learn how to fund their own things and not take from the rest of the state.
So be it...it is Louisville choice...myself it is about contining to improve the facilities for the players and build upon our current Bowl/Winning Season streak
Also as you noted at 63K UNC does noy fill their stadium and they are doing just fine

Thanks.
Now continue to look like idiots with 10,000 empty seats, a scandal football and basketball coach, a hookers scandal in the dorms funded by coaches, a president whose wife does nothing and makes 100,000 k with a mercedes, and top officials stealing state funded grant money.
So be it....right?
The scandal is a basketball issue at this point..myself dont care about College Basketball at all....nice attempt at deflection...lol...somehow going from Louisville stadium expansion/facility upgrades to a "Basketball Scandal"...that is really reaching
Again it is Louisville $$$ they can spend it as they please...at this time the Football Program has in town maybe it most football talent ever on official visits and they are preparing for a Bowl game...it is what it is

Nice to look forward to another third place finish at best in ACC and no wins against anyone of mention in 2016 + less than 50,000 attendance at conference games.
But it is nice that some idiots think the expansion has to do with Notre Dame and the large Catholic population in Louisville [laughing]

Ok behind the 2013 National Champion and current Top 10 team that is playing in a NYD Six Bowl and the current consensus #1 team in the nation means we had a pretty good 7 to 9 win regular season and headed to a nice paying Bowl Game every year....I can live with that
Yup.
Having the luxury of having four consecutive weeks playing teams that finished 3-9,4-8,4-8 and 3-9 was quite the travesty indeed.
It was nice to get a break in the schedule. (The schedule that ranked tougher than UKs) But of course you know whats that like since UKs schedule opened up with 5 of their first 6 weeks being against teams that finished 4-8, 3-9, 5-7, an FCS school (that took them to OT) and 6-6.
Yup....and Louisville finished 3rd in the ACC Atlantic with one of the youngest Starting Lineups of anyone in a P5 league...starting as many as 6 Freshmen on Offense...
NC State has gone Bowling the past 2 years and they won their bowl game and BC went Bowling last year and a season in which they beat Southern Cal by double digits
What did they do THIS year?
NC State= 0 wins against teams with winning records
Boston College= 3 total wins and arguably the worst offense in Div 1
NC State= 0 wins against teams with winning records
Boston College= 3 total wins and arguably the worst offense in Div 1
NC State...won the games they were supposed to win...got them to their 2nd straight Bowl Season.
Boston College...only 3 wins this year but for the 1st time in a couple of years didn't make a Bowl game...Still by all matrix had one of the Top 5 Defenses in College Football.
As for Louisville...looking to expand and upgrade their Football Facilities without Tax Payers $$$ and for the 2nd Straight year in transition and rebuilding finished 3rd in the ACC Atlantic.

Why are we defending ULs schedule?
They beat all the teams they were better than and lost to the ones who were better than them...No they didn't get a marquee win but they're still going bowling. UK didn't beat a single decent team and had an embarrassing near loss to EKU and loss to Vandy. They finished with a SOS ranked 29 spots lower than ULs and lost the head to head matchup....UL football doesn't need to defend anything they've done this season, especially not to UK.
