Found this, thought it was cool.

And if Sac State is to ever go D1 in football, that space will probably be needed to meet the minimum available seating requirement.

Sac State football is DI (FCS), and the stadium already exceeds the minimum number for seating. Hornet stadium holds around 21k-22k and the minimum for FBS is 15k.

Uh, SD, we already ARE D-I.

Yeah but the NCAA has not been enforcing those standards. They always list it, but it is never enforced....especially the stadium seat requirement. Many schools in the MAC, Sun Belt and even in the WAC have been below those marks (both of them). Personally I think its a myth more than anything.

SD, if seating ever became an issue at Hornet football games they could always add decks to either side, the stadium is already at 21k. Adding a deck on either side would get the stadium to 30k.

The practice track. If Sac State track can draw 15K to a track meet, keep it, otherwise football has bills to pay.
