This is the correct answer. Schloss gave the example that if he can raise $85 million lets say then we will get x, but if we can only raise $20 mil then we are looking at scaling back certain plans. I don't think he was trying to pinpoint that the magic # was $85 mil, just that we need to hit a substantial target to get what's planned and that raising funds is how we will get there. Attendance helps if that turns into more season tickets, perhaps luxury boxes, etc. but the scope of the project is still in flux.
He stressed that the Aggie Baseball Stadium Survey that should be out soon will be a lot like the one for Kyle Field in which it helped shape the final result because of the money raised in the process.
