They replaced the old pressbox side in 2005 to seat 12,000 and some suites. They demolished the opposite side this past summer and unveiled plans for a smaller 15K seat facility. Can't really blame them since they average just over 12,500 per game. A bowl game in Charleston has been discussed off and on since the late 80's. It would be a great location.

The problem for the Citadel is that they could build a 25k stadium, but they'd never fill it for football, and they're never going FBS (too few students to even attempt it).

Asking the Citadel to spend 20-40 million minimum on an expansion of a stadium for the sole purpose of providing a game location for schools other than The Citadel is not exactly a sound decision for the Board there.
