Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 752960, member: 397"] No, it's realistic based on [U]your[/U] argument of a diminished pool of people in the fan base. If you are saying that the demographics have changed in the area, and making the argument that the available fan base cannot support the stadium capacity, then the only intelligent thing to do is lower the capacity. Why would you keep a 50,000 seat stadium when your fan base will only support 40,000 seats even when times are good? Minnesota just did this actually, building a new stadium that will only seat 50,000 after playing previously at the Metrodome with a 64,000 seat capacity. The new stadium that they built is expandable to 80,000 seats in the future if the fan base can support it. That is not "short sighted" at all in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
