Hey guys, Jen Cohen just assured us that the capacity of Husky Stadium will be over 70,000, so all of us can rest easy. It was really fucking up my sleeping schedule.

Let's make a new thread about this every day in case anything changes. I don't even care of we go 7-6 again, I'm just glad the capacity is over 70,000.

I can't wait for the new Husky Stadium. I plan on hopping the fences and getting in there at least 8 hours before game time. I really want to take everything in.

    70,001 and 7-6 >>>>>> 69,999 and Rose Bowls

    I love how Doogman is more worried about stadium than our program heading into year 5.

    70,001 and 7-6 >>>>>> 69,999 and Rose Bowls

    I say 70,001 and Rose Bowls.

    Life of abundance.

    The game's in 7 days and this info isn't official yet? Don't they need to print tickets and paint seat numbers by now?

    Actually the formula is wins = seating capacity/10,000. We're still looking at 7-6.

    I thought the formula was push up the middle and heat from the edge. Passion? staff?

    That was the old formula. No longer part of giving the kids a good experience.

    If I can get a couple more volunteers to go into the stadium 8 hours early with me, we can hand count the seats to make sure there are 70,000. This is a really important issue, fellas.

    I would help but that would cut in to my pre-game drinking.

    It's a 7pm kickoff. I think we will have enough time.

    Maybe for the non Irish.

    If it was a serious question, family is from southern Armagh.

    You might want to be careful or you will need to be checking your car every morning before the drive to work.

    I heard they lowered the bowl. My sources say this was designed to help easily gassed players last into the fourth quarter.

    Common knowledge....

    Those in the know have known it was going to be over 70,000 since August of 2011.

    Not sure why that info has taken so long to filter down...

    I like how they claim they didn't know he capacity, really? Pretty sure the architects could tell you.

    New stadium guarantees extra wins, everyone says so.

    If the team can take advantage of atmospheric pressure caused by dropping the field elevation, new wins are guaranteed. Putting in the jumbotron was a stupid waste of money. What is needed is a barometer that coaches can access in real time. By that I mean that it would be better to have it digital (real time) than analog (subject to hysteresis). Read on:

    Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. On a given plane, low-pressure areas have less atmospheric mass above their location, whereas high-pressure areas have more atmospheric mass above their location. Likewise, as elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation. On average, a column of air one square centimeter in cross-section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, has a mass of about 1.03 kg and weight of about 10.1 N (2.28 lbf) (A column one square inch in cross-section would have a weight of about 14.7 lbs, or about 65.4 N).

    Atmospheric pressure based on height of water.

    Atmospheric pressure is often measured with a mercury barometer, and a height of approximately 760 millimetres (30 in) of mercury is often used to illustrate (and measure) atmospheric pressure. However, since mercury is not a substance that humans commonly come in contact with, water often provides a more intuitive way to visualize the pressure of one atmosphere.

    One atmosphere (101 kPa or 14.7 psi) is the amount of pressure that can lift water approximately 10.3 m (34 ft). Thus, a diver 10.3 m underwater experiences a pressure of about 2 atmospheres (1 atm of air plus 1 atm of water). This is also the maximum height to which a column of water can be drawn up by suction at atmospheric pressure.

    Low pressures such as natural gas lines are sometimes specified in inches of water, typically written as w.c. (water column) or W.G. (inches water gauge). A typical gas-using residential appliance is rated for a maximum of 14 w.c., which is approximately 35 hPa.

    In general, non-professional barometers are aneroid barometers or strain gauge based. See pressure measurement for a description of barometer

    It would be wise to use this formula in the game plan:
