...does that take away from the let's-move-up-to-the-next-level argument? Or the case for any future stadium expansions?
Think about it:
-A nationally televised game that will finish under the lights
-The two most successful teams in the FCS of the decade playing for a spot in the national championship
-An opportunity to watch one of the greatest FCS player of all-time (and likely the only two-time Payton award winner)
-The last game ever for Mark Mariani and these seniors to play in WaGriz (I'm still in denial)
-Oh yeah...all ticket prices are capped by the NCAA at $29 for the public, $5 for students, and $10 for students' guests.
If we can't sell out the stadium for a playoff game against a team like App State with a trip to the national championship on the line, who could possibly argue that we'd sell out regular season games against teams like New Mexico State for a trip to some bowl game that nobody has ever heard of and/or cares about?
