lockmat Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) A tweet by an ESPN personality thought aloud that UH might concede to UTs expansion plans in Houston for entrance into the Big 12. I think UH could do big things if it gets in the Big 12. Really excited. Edited July 22, 2016 by lockmat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It would be great for the city. Way more out of town visitors will come and fill hotel rooms and eat out from the Big 12 than AAC. UH has sold around 23,000 season tickets + the 7,500 strong student section for games against Lamar, UConn, Tulsa, UCF, Tulane, and Louisville. Imagine a future schedule with Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Baylor, and Kansas State instead. They'd sell out every game. Fingers crossed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 vs ^^^ this particular matchup would certainly have to be moved over to NRG STADIUM for sure. TEXAS would bring about (50,000 or more) just by itself.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Only until we expanded the stadium. Then it would have to remain at TDECU. TV's work great here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It would be HI-larious if UH finally got into the Big 12, and Texas and Oklahoma promptly moved to the Pac-12. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UH could do big things if it gets in the Big 12. Really excited. That seems to be the motivation of the support. UH would definitely have a brighter future in a Power 5 conference, but I think UT would have the most to gain with the research campus. Either way, it would be nice to see it happen. Seems like a win-win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbates2 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Immediate dominant force? Do you mean in terms of football? Are you the dominant force in the Big 12 right now? Didn't Ohio State just win a NC 2 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOK'EM! There's really nothing complicated about it at all. The BIG (10) will not invite OU to join them as long as OU is not a member of the AAU. OU knows that and they have been trying to elevate their academics (as was said a few years ago, David Boren has been working hard to make the university worthy of its football team) but they started so very far behind and still have a ways to go, I'm afraid.

The Pragmatist Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Hey, NU got an invite, and they aren't an AAU member. Maybe OU can be a non-AAU member too. The money provided by the program is definitely alluring. Of course, this may all just be speculation if the Big 12 can be made to work.

brijonmang Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Well, barring some contract breaching, the Big 12 as it stands is probably here to stay until 2025 when the current agreements end. As far as expansion, I'd be cool with UH joining but I don't know how all the BIG 8 schools would feel about adding another Texas school. But sign me up for a Texas Tech - UH game here in town every other year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopping in the near future there's going to be a need to expand the stadium, although this should be a given if they're competitive in the BIG 12. Also, does anybody have any other renderings of the expanded stadium; or just old renderings in general? Are these actual renderings or photoshop from the web?

TDECU is larger than Cincinnati's stadium and basically the same as Baylor and within 10,000 of TCU, Kansas, K State, and UCF. Expansion talk should only happen after 4-5 years of season sellouts. UH needs to finish the press level with more suites (there's room for 4-6 more suites) and add more chair backed seats. I'd like to see the entire lower bowl outside of the student section with chair backs and most of the 200 level. The biggest need is to add ramps to get to the upper deck and add restrooms and concessions on that level. The stairs are a brutal climb. They could also work to add better landscaping around the stadium. There’s way too much concrete in and around the stadium. Maybe paint the UH logo on ground of the gates leading into the stadium? Something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 No to NRG. The Tech/UH crowd last week would have easily fit inside TDECU and been a much better environment.
