Jake had a great post in the Viking Stadium thread
I actually think that plan is insane and would cost SU a ton of money. People would drop their FB tickets or move to a cheaper section. So SU shouldn't gain more money in FB. Plus with the reduced money for BBall SU comes away a big loser.
The best solution is to put in real seating in the preferred areas which will reduce capacity and not make it look so bad. It also creates demand having real seats vs benches, while reducing supply.
The non preferred sections should all have different price points. They have a few now but not enough.
There is the possibility of consolidating the preferred sections. So some of the D become regular seats. Some of the C become D. Some of the B become C. Some of the A become B. The problem with that is having no incentive to move. If you are currently in A and your seats become B, why would would move a little closer to mid field to pay A prices when you can keep your seat at a reduced B price? In which case SU loses money.
Which bring sup another point, there is no benefit (especially if you have BBall) to being A vs B vs C vs D. There should be extra incentive to be in each.
