Congrats guys,this Knights class is one to get excited about. We've got a long way to go, but the future looks good. What are some of your expectations for where we'll be in 10 years?
 
BHNS will be 65,000 seats
We'll be in BIG12
Don Pro Combat Uni's by Nike
GOL will be gone

Reality?
GOL is gone
We're still in AAC
Still contending for conference titles.
 
The US financial system will break down, under the weight of 25+ trillion in federal debt, ending the need for college as we fall into anarchy. College sports will no longer command big TV $$$ as no one will have cable, internet, nor TV's. The bird flu will mutate into a zombie virus, and the new sport of choice will be zombie hunting.

GOL is still coaching.
UCF will win the American at least 5 more times but will only win the same amount of games against P5 teams.
Rivals board fans will be satisfied beating up all G5 squads.


The good news - BHN will have a stadium canopy and a north end cabana.

I don't know if brighthouse is ever that big. Trend seems to be going the other direction. Smaller stadiums with more and more goodies. With more and more and higher quality TV coverage it is much better at home without the $$$ high live cost. My guess is stadium will go to 53 to 55 in about 5 to 7 years, doubt we go to 65 in 10 years.

No national championships..

Big 12 ... 60% chance in 10 years.

GOL retires in 2018.
 
BHN Stadium will be called something else since BHN is paying us less than originally planned for naming rights.
Press box will be expanded to increase the number of suites.
Additional seats below the press box will be converted to Club Seats.
The plan to add another deck to the east side to add 10,000 seats will either be under construction or completed.

60% chance we are in a P5 conference where we will finish somewhere between 2nd and 6th in 2025.
40% chance we are still in the AAC where we will have won six conference championships between 2015 & 2025.
 
I doubt that BHNS will have a 3rd level East Side Grandstand anytime soon...as those are almost always the last seats to sell (most of the time they don't).

I could see BHNS adding more high revenue sections (like the East Side Club), to increase revenue (maybe more chairback sections, which would decrease total capacity slightly)...but with more and more college football fans staying home in their man caves with 60"-70" screens vs traveling to stadium sites to sit in bleachers...expansion of "more bleachers" is not the answer for most "new" teams these days.

Remember, the new East Side Club and their chairback sections, actually decrease the total capacity of BHNS.

UCF needs to get to a point in time where they can have hard SEASON sellouts for 6-7 years in a row (similar to what Louisville did), and then, and only then, look to adding more seats.

Till then, I think they look at opportunity to utilize most empty sections and turn them into premium (higher $$$) seating sections.

This. My guess is BHNS with a new sponsor name will max out at around 52K with a new hd video scoreboard board and other amenities added through the years.

Before FSU's recent run of almost 30 straight wins a lot of their fans regretted expanding their capacity over 80K bc it's hard to fill up when they aren't ranked in the top 10

This seems the most likely outcome. This is becoming more of a problem nationwide, even at winning/traditional programs. I know it makes it easier to miss a game now that almost all of ours are televised somewhere.
 
Expand the suites, add more west side club seats, and build the west side upper deck.. 53 to 58K stadium. Probably all we need for a long time.
 
There is no place to put a west side upper deck. When the suites are expanded the press box will extend from approximately goal line to goal line. If you are thinking about building it above the press box...that would be INSANE.
