I do like the look of that. I wouldn't want them to do what they did at MSU though. I don't like how that looks.

What would this do to overall capacity? Looks like it won't increase it by too much. Maybe get us to around 90k? I still think there needs to be some type of screen over there.

The project won't be cheap. Low-end estimates begin around $70 million with that number rising north of $120 million if the field-club seating becomes a reality and the aluminum bench seating is upgraded to chair-back seating. The re-worked end zone would hold approximately 9,500 patrons in all, which means it wouldn't yield a meaningful rise in stadium capacity.

I missed this when I initially read the article but there appears to be no added capicity so I would assume they would make up for it in the cost of tickets?

I'm not an economics expert so maybe someone can chime in with the value of making such an addition? I agree that it looks nice but gosh that's a lot of money to spend
