CSU stadium

Maybe UCF got a deal by stealing North Texas's stadium.
(I think you got the wrong pictures.)
EDIT: Or maybe I just misunderstood your post.

This High School stadium cost $60M
Seats 18,000
Replace some of the buildings surrounding it wit seats and get it to around 25000 and I think CSU would be set for a little while.
Funny story about this $60M high school stadium in Allen.
It's condemned.
Cracks in the concrete started appearing right away. It turns out the rebar was being placed too far apart, causing the brand new facility to be designated structurally unsound.
The Allen football team has to play at another location. Oops.
The builders PBK and Pogue Construction appear to be on the hook to make this right.

tl;dr
they could build something like this, within their budget:

basically, go out in the prairie. dig a big oval hole in the ground. cover the sides in concrete. put astroturf on the bottom. voila! the thunderbowl comes alive!!!

What the **** is a Chinese Drywall?
yes, UCF owned the land, they have enough land to triple their current phyiscal plant(50,000 current undergrads) east to the St.John's river (why does the St. johns flow north? because Georgia sucks!!). it is an extremely functional stadium, not much in the way of archtectural amenities, but it does have some brick facading and other design elements tha make it an enjoyably place to be, really wide concouses under the stands and plenty of concession stands and bathrooms. they learned from disney. they did have to retrofit in water fountains after the heat-stokes of their first game.
the seating is generous for us long-legged types. No fan sitting between my knees like at Florida field or Doak -Campbell. it is no Folsom,but it is a great place to watch a ball game, and yes, there is little thought put into winterizing pipes. muchgreater concern for lightning and hurricane proofing.

Florida was the most affected state during the housing boom.
I thought Naval Aviators just sat around and watched movies during float, no?

I think that is also the stuff that made a lot of the Katrina FEMA trailers unlivable.
The mascot of a CSU system school that has a football team that is probably better than the system hub school's football team.
Is an unnecessary qualifier. CSU-Pueblo is a very very good team.
Except that just as nobody buys tickets to see them play in Ft. Collins not many people watch them on TV either. Their bowl appearances haven't been ratings winners and their regular season appearances haven't been much either.
Lack of TV appeaal is part of why they are dreaming when they hope for a B12 invite.

Smart man. The Denver tv market would grow wildly if CU and CSU were in same conference. Basically opens the whole marketplace. Denver could potentially be #1 in PAC with the addition. Would become a fully legitimate PAC state.
You're joking, right?
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix and Seattle are all Pac-12 metros.
Seriously, are you ****ing delusional?
Number 1 market?
USC and ucla.
Stanford and cal.

Rude, but yes if both CU and CSU can raise their games. Both being Top 25 in a sports crazy CO would be the difference maker. You guys talk as if things will be the same in 5 years. Do u plan on staying a bottom feeder in PAC or grow? I know CSU so badly wants to grow.
Yeah. I failed.
