This is the lil ole Arky mentality that has held our athletic dept. back from swinging for the fences.
The 2001 expansion was a 45% increase in capacity. That's an insane increase to absorb. For perspective, that would be like adding 31,000 seats today.
I'm totally fine with 75,000 seats, SRO of 2,000 and the opportunity to add 5,000 more at some point in the future with little disruption.
I'm not a size-first person. Once you're up over 70,000 you're in the top tier of the country anyway. We have a nice stadium that seats 72,000, but looks more like 85,000 due to our insatiable appetite for luxury suites and club-seating. We have a great stadium. It won't ever be the biggest. No sense in trying.

We need to strive for being the nicest 75-80K stadium more than anything else. Biggest seats and most leg room of any major program would be a much more impressive feat than being yet another school that can't sell-out for non-marquee games.
