Ok let's see who's right

Look up in the stadium corners at all the games and let me know how packed they are


I hate those corners and seeing them half or entirely empty on national TV.

I've always said that we don't need to increase capacity as much as we need to move it around, especially with the addition of the much-needed premium seating in the NEZ.

This will never happen, but we should simply get rid of two or three sections in each corner of the upper deck (509-511, 517-519, 506-508, 500-502). Half of those I mentioned (the 510s) are technically visitor seating and are sparsely populated even during big games.

Those seats suck and are constantly on StubHub going for a song. We'll never have an issue selling premium seating, so why not shift capacity a little?

I disagree about them being "sparsely populated even during big games" because I've been to most of the big games lately. They mainly only have a lot of empties during the non-conference crap games.

Rather than remove capacity, those sections should just be cheap, like $20 per game. Advertise them as cheap and you'll sell some as season tickets.
