#1 I already said to the dude I had forgot about the reduced seating. It was originally 75k with the ability to expand another 5-7k.
#2 65 still isn't accurate when the entire stadium is open. People seem to forget there's several areas rarely even open in games now. Even for the dolphins. There's like 11k seats not even accounted for in regular capacity. Still as I said I was wrong about how big it is. Ob was bigger but the layout and the seats weren't emphasizing any open seats like hard rock does. Here empty seats stand out.
1. I replied to your post when I read it, the other guy's post and your reply were later in the thread, and there is no way I am ever going to give enough of a **** here to go back and edit based on continued conversation I hadn't read.
2. I don't understand whatcha mean. What areas do you mean? I just looked up some deets. For ND attendance was 65,303. For FSU last year there was a reported 66,200. Both were packed to their gills, sold out, with no visible place for there to be another body where you could see the field, let alone another 11k. Last year the Fins averaged 66,230 which according to ESPN/NFL was 102.3% capacity. They would have loved to have been able to sell more tix.
IIRC the reason the capacity was reduced when they renovated was because they put the video boards in the upper corners where a ton of seats used to be, replaced every single seat (enlarged all of them? Def a ton of them), created the VIP Golden Canes/Fins VIP area (which probably reduced capacity for that section by 60%) and added the Field Club, North Sideline Club and corner terraces. Walk me through what you're talking about? When the entire stadium is "open?" What do mean?
3. OB was church I miss the **** out of it.
PS- I think there might be overlap in that wiki (eeeek) screenshot, if it's even accurate. Like some of the "business" seats etc could also be lower level. I don't think those line items are cumulative.
