They weren't that wide. It was 2 levels, yes, but it was plane arse bars with rolly chairs. Its been a few years, but I want to say they were, at max, wide enough for 6 chairs each row.

depended on the size of the suite.

the larger ones could fit about 20 people if you didn't mind sitting on the stairs and having a couple people stand.

Plus sitting outside > sitting inside.

Except with its a day game and its 100+ degrees outside.

The alumni side will be even more dead now b/c half the people are going to stay inside and watch on TV now. Have y'all seen what happens in The Zone on shite weather days w/all the people that migrate to the indoor club? This is now going to happen on the West side as well. This will actually hurt the game day atmosphere.

The biggest problem I've always had with the shotgun design is it is essentially a trick to get people to spend more for less. It's getting people to commit to one of the smaller old suites (from a viewing perspective) that were on the ends of the West side plus a bunch of outside seats. For what they are charging it's a shite deal. IMO it would have been better to keep them wide while simply building a hell of a lot more suites on the West side and in the South endzone

This wasn't even what people who sit in suites were asking for TBH. BMAs didn't want outside/inside seating w/their suites. They wanted the ability to slide the windows open if it wasn't an oppressively hot day.
