I don't know how it would work, but my best guess would be to add upper decks on the north and south end zones like there is on the east side. North end yes! South??? Why not the south also? There would have to be some accommodation or changes because of The Piers. That might even include eliminating The Piers to create more upper deck seating. Remember this is only my wild guess. |

Mostly the Piers and the southerly scoreboard. The open space behind and adjacent to student section seems to have been designed for any future expansion. Although would block view from hotel. But, we haven't finished the stadium, played a game or gotten a sniff from anything/anyone to justify thinking about expansion.

Isn't the Big 12 trying to lure both AZ schools, CU and Utah?

But, we haven't finished the stadium, played a game or gotten a sniff from anything/anyone to justify thinking about expansion. I would guess the south scoreboard could remain and fit in to the upper deck just like the north scoreboard. If we truly needed the additional seating enough to pay for the expansion I don't think sacrificing The Piers would be a problem.
But, we're a long way from needing the additional seating.

So many possibilities. Could be that just these two schools leave and the PAC-12 add SDSU and Boise (or UNLV). That would be ideal, of course. Or Washington and Oregon could bolt to the Big10 as well, Arizona schools, Colorado and Utah bolt to the Big12. Stanford and Cal would then go independent. Washington State and Oregon State would then go to MWC. Most thought the Big12 would fold when Texas and OU left, but they stayed together and added schools. The Pac12 could do the same.

Do you recall what enclosing San Diego stadium did to ruin it. I do. No and hell no any expansion of what will be one of the premier new facilities nationwide. |

The top 4 MWC program adds for the PAC would be Boise St, SDSU, Colorado St and UNLV/Fresno St. San Jose St also has a good TV market and Silicon Valley $$ to bring to the table.
A watered down PAC 12 would certainly be an upgrade over bumping heads with AF, Wyo, NM, Utah St and Nevada. The new stadium arrival is perfectly timed. SDSU’s market is larger than some states, our teams have had respectable success on the field and the institution’s academics have been improved. Fingers crossed.

I didn't say this should be done. I was just answering a question of how it could be done. I remember full well what the expansion did to San Diego Stadium. I didn't care for it either.
Although if we needed the additional seating because we got to move to a true P5 Pac 12 or Big 12, then I would accept it as a necessary evil. Certainly better than staying in the MW.

No need to add any No Cal teams with Stanford and Cal still there. SDSU, Boise should be the first adds. Then UNLV. The Big 12 should add Colorado State and Possibly Air Force. |

The Pac 10 is over if they lose two more teams. OSU, WSU and Cal are MW quality teams. Leaving them 8 teams with 3 being G5 teams, a Stanford and 4 teams trying hard to get to another conference.
They just need to take the best the MW has and be in charge of their destiny. Otherwise those 3 will be traveling to Wyoming. If they wait too long they’ll have no power and be forced to join the MW as soon as others get invites elsewhere.

Oregon & Washington also applied for the Big 10 Also, the AZ schools, CU and Utah have been approached by the Big Xii |

Read or listen to Wicker today throw cold water on going anywhere. Gotta take him seriously — for now. |

The PAC 12 or the Big 12 are going to want a presence in So Cal. SDSU is sitting pretty right now.

Read or listen to Wicker today throw cold water on going anywhere. Gotta take him seriously — for now. Please note the "if" in my comment. I prefer to read than listen to a long interview. Where could I read Wicker' comments? I've been checking here, goaztecs.com and the UT all day.
I do think that no change is the worst effect today's news will have on us. It's what I call heads we win, tails we tie.
