What is that? About $8K per seat added or so?

I'd love to see us break 70K, but they want to make sure demand stays high.

Remove endzone bleachers. Expand EXISTING stadium to 55K. Then construct NEZ expansion.

55,082? What are we at now? I know with standing room we can pack 60k in there right now. What would the addition do to that figure?

Remove endzone bleachers from 55k seat stadium. Then expand the stadium to 55k prior to the endzone addition, which would be an expansion where exactly? Then add the endzone which leaves us with what?

  • This shouldn't be overlooked. Sounds like the West Side updates are on equal footing with the N. Endzone construction. From what was relayed earlier, it seemed that the West Side improvements were being placed on the back burner. Not true, now? Otherwise, $80,000,000 is a hell of a lot of money for putting in the suites + a foundation for an upper deck + a net gain of only a few seats.
  • Does "new vertical circulation" = No more erector set ramps?
  • Is there a typo in the capacity numbers, that is causing us to react so strongly?

he'll tell us there's not really a black hole at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. Actually spent an hour watching a special on History Channel a couple of years ago that came up with that conclusion. Ancient Aliens is giving it a strong run for it's money with the recent Aliens destroyed the dinosaurs so that man would evolve.
