Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4236963, member: 27"] Speculation is that the seating will be reduced from about 49.5K to about 44.5K. That is right about 10% on the nose. I haven't seen any specifics discussed but I think the seat widths are 18 inches now. If we are talking about a 10% decrease in capacity, we are taking about close to a 10% increase in seat widths. They will surely do even numbers so I am guessing the new seats will be 20 inches in width. That would be a 10% increase on the nose. Just speculation. No inside info. If this happened, the maximum capacity for basketball would go from around 35K to around 31.5K. Now that assumes all the seating areas sold before the center hung scoreboard was in place will still be sold. I do not think this is the case. That scoreboard appears to block the view for some of the seats in the far end zone corners down low. We might get as low as 30K for basketball with new seating in place. [/QUOTE]
