It already has. Camp Randall has less and less seats with every reno they do.

And that's fine. Those bench seats are not wide enough for the fatass society we are.

Michigan is the worst. I used to buy 3 seats for 2 of us.
UF's $400K plan would have lowered capacity, which the fanbase was having none of.  But we still have the bleacher seats, too, with that smattering of chairback clip-ons scattered throughout, if you paid for it.

We don't want the Swamp to hold fewer yelling voices.  But the wrap-around club seating is probably going to become more common.  I don't know what % of stadia already have it on both sidelines, but Florida was one of those with it only on one. 
But even through our mediocre times, we're always above capacity, officially.  So that's good.  I'm also glad it won't be a Soldier Field situation.

sure they did, after conferring with counsel re: the big 12's lawsuit. which btw as i u/s it is still active. if there is any justice ttech is footing the bill for all of their legal fees. 

corrupt judges are prime villains of the 21st century. even bilas thought the injunction was absurd. it typically requires an act of God to get that douche to side with the ncaa.

Oh no, you mean that the fans will be acting like drunken idiots?  Will anybody be able to tell the difference?

If that candy map is right (and it must be, because the internet), then Mississippi is the dumbest state.  And I can virtually guarantee their huge improvements in test scores will be revealed to have been BS in 10 years or so.

I see a bunch of whining about the proposal to let booze in the "cheap" seats at The Bill in Manhattan.  We are relegated to either leaving at half to go to the tailgate in the parking lot, or getting corralled into the beer garden--the SE corner where you can't even see the video board to have a beer. Unless you are in the premium club seats, then it's just fine.  

BUT, beer in the stands at the basketball games is fine & dandy.

Kansas has always been stupid about booze.  Carrie A. Nation is from here.  They seemed to forget the Old West history from the 1870's that happened right here ON the spot from where I type.  Well...maybe not.  But still!
