 Discuss the school’s options.

It can be seen that the school will run out of space in the home coming game in the year 2011. Thus, it is the right time for Dr. Wisner to
start planning for expansion of the stadium.
Also, the stadium can run out of space even earlier if the coach Pitterno achieves the expectations of making SWU no 1.
On the other hand, the attendance in games may drop considerably if the coach fails to achieve his target.
