Honestly, I think putting in better seats (a lot are broken) and reducing the capacity, is the way to go.
Why reduced the capacity ? I do agree the DHC is completely outdated, two years ago I went to a concert at Ball Arena in Denver CO and WOW, I mean WOW that is a state of the art complex. There is just no comparison between DHC and Ball Arena in anyway possible. It’s like comparing Kiki Romero gimnasio in Juarez with DHC.

I was just referring to seats that are a bit larger, customer friendly with cup holders. It might take out a seat per row, nothing crazy.
 
Yep there is too much money to be made. That is why there will never be college playoff games being played in the Sun Bowl. Do you think the college football mafia is going to make more money with Clemson vs. Texas in a 47k Sun Bowl stadium than DK Royal Stadium that seats over 100k and has more than 100 luxury suites? It would be cool to have playoff games here but it just ain’t going to happen.
People start complaining about paying more than $20 for a ticket. My pair was significantly more than that. I heard of people spending four figures on a single ticket.

With the addition of N. Illinois can we officially say MWC will be the 3rd best G6 league. I think the AAC is barely better than the new MWC by the way. Utep and Walden will win at least 6 games next year and if he stays will be very good in year 3. Those who scoff m, because of Uteps history are well warranted. However we’ve never had recruiting to the level we’ve seen with Walden and if it continues we will see the difference in talent by year 3!

1. PAC Whatever
2. AAC
3. MWC
4. Sun Belt
5. MAC
6. CUSA

So if we finished at or near the bottom in the worst G6 league, there’s people that think we won’t in the 3rd best?

El Pasoans Spend $1000 a Ticket on Coldplay.
Man it was stupid of me missing Alice Cooper live. I saw snippets of his SB appearance and the man was in fine form like he was in the 70's to mid 80's. Decades of sobriety, religion, golf and humility have done him wonders.
 
You also have to accept that the dramatic price in tickets is due to scalpers buying them up and immediately posting them on the resale market.

The question I have is, have people bought the 1,000 dollar tickets because I bet there will be a nice drop right before the concert.

Kane it doesn’t matter what was brotha. I think you’re failing to see something that you’ve even said in the past about how bad Utep Football Recruiting was and couldn’t be expected to compete at a high level. Question for you? Do you think the talent of a team full of top 75 recruits after 3 years vs a team full of 125 ranked recruits will be better or worse? Simple question let’s see how you answer that?

But we have to accept that talented players can lose games because mentality, coaching, preparation and execution can be the deciding factor in close games.

Walden has definitely brought in better talent, and I applaud that. But just like we didn’t let Dimel off the hook when he was talking about Time of Posession when he was losing we can’t applaud the recruiting if he wins 3 games this fall.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. You and others need to stop with 3 years stuff. Each year is a new year now.

A team full of better players should do better versus the same competition than a team not full of better players.

I get it and agree and it’s yet to be seen at this point. I’m hoping and betting on eking better though. I un like some on here liked Walden and was my number 1 choice.

I said 6-6 next year and better in year 3. What do you mean? I’m confused 🤔

But that’s only if he stays… coaches with a losing record are a hot commodity. Look at Kinne, two winning seasons two bowl wins and still stuck at G5.
