From what I remember back from the old Friends of UConn Football days, 55,000 was the outside number for expanding the stadium. Maybe they can squeeze some extra like the Michigan game, but there might be some serious strain on other aspects of the stadium experience if you get too crazy.
Squeezing people in is just bad business. I'm not even a fan of putting in extra seats for big games - if you want to make sure you get into the Texas/Michigan/Oklahoma/Whoever game, buy season tickets -- that should be the mindset.
Agreed. If stadium expansion ever did take place, I would be happy with just the 3rd deck on the UConn side and renovating the scoreboard area as a bar/lounge. Maybe move the band onto the field level ala Notre Dame so we can free up another section for students (only necessary if in a P5 conference). But yeah, if you want tickets to the big games, buy season tickets or a game plan.
