[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129427789, member: 1754664"] So you think reducing traffic, bathrooms, cupholders and more coke guys are the keys? Interesting perspective. It would, however, seem a monumental waste of money to build a new stadium if that is all we need. If we simply took up the bleachers and put in seats with backs and cupholders, we would reduce the capacity significantly. If we did that and eliminated the South endzone seating in favor of a large concourse and luxury suites we would take the attendance down close to 40,000 when combined with the comfier and wider seats in the stadium proper. Traffic would take care of itself if 40,000 was a full house as it is never bad on the rare occasions when we get that small a crowd. Bathroom lines would be very short too if we added new bathrooms on the South concourse while reducing capacity by a third. Great ideas all around. The silly notion that we should want to please the majority of our fans with (relatively) affordable tickets is so outdated and declassé. Let's keep out the riff-raff, shoot for small crowds of only people who can afford to pay very high prices and just wait for the inevitable boost in performance on the field that would result.
