San Jose State’s New Stadium Renovation

San Jose State’s new Stadium Renovation has reduced the size of CEFCU Stadium from 30,000 seats to 18,000. Was it a brilliant idea or a big mistake? #collegefootball #mountainwestfootball #CFBRadio

You're assuming that what you're seeing now is the finished product. It's not. The plan was always to rebuild seating on the east side of the stadium. A second phase will erect seating in front of the Athletic Center. It will most likely be much nicer, chairback seating as well. The funding to build the replacement seating will likely come from the estimated $14-15 million payout that the school will receive as part of the exist fees that the schools departing the MWC in 2026 will have to pay to the MWC.

They should have moved to the San Joses Earthquakes stadium and added 12000 -170000 seats to that stadium. I would be one of the best in the Conference.

This renovation was beyond stupid. It doesn't make sense to remove seats with prime views while leaving seats in the end zones, and it looks terrible on television broadcasts not having any fans along the sideline.
