Message: [QUOTE="mayselc, post: 681196, member: 655"] I think that replacing the 100- and 200-level benches with orange stadium seating and adding the orange padded seats to the entire 300-level would be a good compromise. We would probably only lose 2-3k in capacity (from 49,000 to about 46,000) and would make the place look so much better on game day and when it's empty. As for a new stadium, keep in mind that just the new roof in 1999 cost $14 million! I don't see how you could build even a facility comparable to the Dome for under $75 million. And for what is being discussed (retractable roof, 60,000 capacity, luxury suites, etc), that cost would have to be in the $200 million range. [/QUOTE]
