That's the exact level the East side was when I first started going. IIRC, when they expanded it upwards and built the Rebel club and it didn't interfere with seating during a season during construction.

I figure they'll build what is essentially a shell over that lower bowl much like they did to the East side.

Pank, we must be about the same age. I remember being in the student section when the stadium only held about 42K. Back then, we didn't sell out games and people thought we were crazy expanding to 50k. When we did, it sold out, then they said the same thing when we wanted to expand to 60k. We had quite a few years with a lot of sellouts. Then came the post-Eli years and crowds and wins suffered. We could easily support 70k+ once the team has some consistent winning. If you don't believe me, leave early and go to the Grove during a big game, when the staidum is full. You'll see about 20-30k still in the Grove during the game.
