The bleachers are temporary and permanent stands will be the next step in expansion. Charlie Cobb has said that we want to increase capacity to 35k when we move up. Right now capacity is about 23k. So, at some point, I think we're demolishing the old field house and adding ~12k seats to that endzone.

You're just pissed nobody pointed out that Zable got two bricks replaced to go along with the upgrade from megaphone to bullhorn in the press box.

This is what I'm hoping for. Just one deck symmetrical to the hill:

Will that fit 12K? I think our little arc behind the endzone only holds around 4K.

I think the hill can fit about 10k people. Capacity: 21,650 Record crowd: 31,531

I think you could fit more in a similar space by giving them seats... instead of being spread out on blankets and folding chairs and such.

If that's accurate then I guess you're right. It just doesn't look like there's half as many people on the hill as there is in the other seats.

We got end zone seating now, so at least we match EWU on that. Oh, and we have crowds. :rofl:
