TCU’s is the smallest after their renovation. Even after the reno it still looks like a 1960s rodeo gym.

Bigger doesn’t, equate to better.

When BYU’s is full and rocking there’s nothing better… but getting 18,000 for small teams is rough.

I hope they never expand it. I hope it becomes a state icon just like it is and is known as the hottest ticket in Texas.

Thank you. Updated it.

I now remember that I actually ripped that 7,000 figure from an estimate I cited in a similar threa on CF before Foster Pavillion actually opened last year.

Didn’t catch that when I put this thread together, so that was very helpful.

Wow. Even our old Pavilion would have been only #13 on this list.

Perfect size for Coog fans, sell outs are not our thing.
