    The Alumni Pavilion is ridiculously insufficient for a typical good turnout for a home game which is about 70% of capacity.  And considering we don't have a lot of fans that are ineligible to apply for alumni membership coming to games the 150 person capacity is shickingly small.  I estimated the capacity as 300-500  before looking this up.  

    The Alumni Pavilion needs to be more than doubled in size.  

    - Bathrooms with 5 person capacity 

    - Full Kitchen comparable to a restaurant with 250 person capacity

    - 8 to 12 TVs 

    - 5,000 square feet minimum with over 1,000 patio space 

    I believe we should have a watch party fund raiser for a big away game at the alumni pavilion.  "Free" barbecue with valid alumni association membership and $5 donation to the Alumni Pavilion expansion fund. Get Rudy's and/or Metzler's supply the food.   Kid's bounce house and play area outside.  Also have food trucks outside selling alternatives to barbecue (or whoever is catering the food inside the Pavilion).  Free  Door prizes and a paid raffle for Club Seats and parking for the remainder of the season (5 home games minimally).

    What do you think?  Is the Alumni Pavilion sufficient right now?  How much money could this raise?  Would it significantly increase Alumni Association membership?  A full kitchen also could provide an opportunity for hospitality management students getting a Food Studies Certificate a lab and a real world lab on game days and special events. 

    I remember being told back when the stadium was being built that the pavilion was intended for the Letterman's association,  but they declined, so it was offered to the alumni association.  If that's true,  then there wouldn't have been anything built for the alumni at all.

    I just hope that someone is thinking about the fact that if it’s the credit union, we will have daTCU stadium.

    Having the name of another local school in the name of the stadium is asinine. People are going to hear “the TCU stadium.”  

    I've been thinking about that...

    I've never heard anyone say that UH plays in tdECU stadium, but ECU is nowhere near UH, while TCU is just down 35W from NT.
