We're never going to increase either, if I had to guess. Only places we could go would be continuing the 600 deck around the top of the east side, or tearing down the scoreboard and building up the west side which will never happen.

With every SEC game being televised...the days of stadium expansion (at least for the biggest stadiums) is over.

can do the the math on each year, showing the rising average?

We can't grow much if at all either. I'm fine with that.
112,000 sweaty rednecks in one place sounds awful to me. I'd go to NASCAR races if I wanted that or Bama games.

Florida is the only road venue I've ever been to where multiple people around me took their shirts off because they were hot and wanted a tan in the upper deck.
Sophistication abounds.

Now do a pic of each stadium at each stage.

I've never sat in the upper deck with you people. Sorry about your choices.
It's hot up there I hear.

You should check it out. Your fellow Gators up there appeared to have crawled out of the nearest swamp and/or 1980's consignment shop.

At the game in The Swamp where I sat across the isle from Lulu and Jr., my seats were two rows from the MFing sun!!!

An SEC stadium with < 70,000 capacity is embarrassing.

Swamp losing its bite.
