In the next 5 years they are adding on to Kyle to expand it from 82,000 seats to 115,000 seats, making it the largest in the nation.

But, if you could fill the seats, that place would be a modern Coliseum. |

Normaly I would agree with you. But if we're including fans and atmosphere as part of our ideas, Death Valley didn't exist this past Saturday. For most of the game Clemson was only down 4 points, yet the fans were way too quiet (it was shocking knowing Death valley's history) I'm going w/ Kyle field, or maybe the other Death Valley, Happy Valley ain't bad either, and Camp Randall deserves some love. Yeah, the 12th man is big. However, Clemson, being down this year, the fans are somewhat fickle. They want some new, fresh offense, and they want Charlie to freaking achieve something. They were loud during that last drive, when Clemson won. This goes back to the GT game, where with 15 seconds to go, they stopped making noise. It has been rough since, especially the away games. We will be back. I'm waiting for the day UT and VT decide to play at Bristol Motor Speedway. 250K for a football game on the infield. That would be loud. |

That would be crazy, and a little wierd, since the infield+racetrack is so large the fans would be far away from the field. But that could be the start of a decent rivalry, if you go south on I-81 just a few miles past Blacksburg, you enter Volunteer country pretty quickly. Though the SEC and ACC are now the best 2 conferences i doubt either team will be likely to get another solid program on their schedule, especially since VT already plays WVU out of conference every year. |

They discussed it a few years ago, Tenn balked because they didn't want to give up a home game. Now that VT is in the ACC, it is less likely. You never know though.

Yeah, but no offense, but Miami fans aren't in a league with most of the teams we have been talking about.
Texas A&M, Texas, LSU, OSU, Clemson, Tennesee, Florida, Nebraske, etc. all have tens of thousands of fans who not only show up, but make a difference in the games, and they live and die with their football team.
Miami fans just aren't on that level (so you know, maryland's aren't either)
