Is 35,000 seats enough for a prospective power conference candidate?

It still keeps them ahead of SJSU but I have to wonder.

The proposed sdsu stadium starts off at 35K but would be expandable to 50,000, capable of hosting an NFL team.

The 35K seat stadium would actually put sdsu on par with:
Boise State - Albertsons Stadium - 36,387
UNLV - Sam Boyd Stadium - 36,800

and ahead of:
Washington State - Martin Stadium - 32,740

At 35K seat stadium would actually put sdsu on par with:
Hawai'i - Aloha Stadium - 50,000
Stanford - Stanford Stadium - 50,424

and ahead of:
The rest of the MWC
Utah - Rice-Eccles Stadium - 45,807
Oregon State - Reser Stadium - 43,363
Washington State - Martin Stadium - 32,740

So a 35K seat stadium is a good start.

“A 35k seat stadium puts SDSU ahead of the rest of the MWC”—wrong.
Air Force-45k, Fresno 45k, Colorado St-42k, New Mexico 40k, Hawaii 50k, also UNLV and Boise’s are bigger. They’d be smaller than 7 MWC stadiums with a 35k seater.
