How much would it cost ...

[RocketDawg]

to install chairbacks in the entire lower levels, east and west (minus the student section in the end zone). That would make all the lower levels "desirable" seats. I'm guessing it would be about 30,000 seats, since that was the capacity before the upper decks, CL, suites were built.

Can check how much it cost LSU. They put premium chairbacks in all their good sideline lower level seats.

I don't expect to see us do it beyond a couple of the primary sections because of how much it would reduce capacity, I'd imagine...

 

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, I think it'd reduce capacity too. People on bleacher seats are squeezed in pretty tight right now. Not as bad as Alabama though ... if they put in chairbacks everywhere it'd probably reduce their capacity by at least 10%.

I would even settle for the metal bleachers with the backs, similar to TD Ameritrade's seating in the outfield.

Tiger stadium has that in certain sections too.

this is the answer.

comfort, without sacrificing capacity.
