So 10 seats (10x18) would be 180 inches, which would now accommodate only 9 seats (9x20) assuming everything else stays the same. If applied to the entire stadium, that would be a 10% reduction in capacity approximately.
From the language it sounds like not all original seats are 18 inches so may not apply stadium wide. Maybe others can confirm

Probably already in the plans but survey makes it look like fan needs are being met. We will never know but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. They have known for years people were not happy about size of seats. At least they are making some improvements.

I bet there were many season ticket holders that did not renew. This seems like a clever way to keep the sellout streak alive.

Except that the capacity includes thousands of sky box and suite seats. Assuming that the newer bench seating areas weren't already wider, that would drop the capacity by about 7,500 seats or roughly about 8%. I would maybe take it even further if it were up to me. They should start by adding seat backs to the least desirable corner sections in northeast endzone to bump the demand for those seats. The wider seats is about 20 years overdue.

There is no doubt that IF you're going to reduce capacity, NOW is the best time to do it. I really couldn't believe they did what they did to East Stadium a few years back with the suites but they seem to have no problem selling those

Like Dingle said this is about 20 years over do and will only cut capacity down 8%. Its’s a win win in my book..

Have never measured but pretty sure everything in 600 sections are wider than 18. I know they're more comfortable than my tickets in sec 24 west

I was walking through the Dallas airport the other day. I couldn't help but notice all of the HUGE black women in "leggings" aka yoga pants. Good heavens. 36" wide seats wouldn't be enough.

My recliner and TV will continue to be perfect. I have learned to take advantage of all the opportunities to get lots of yard work, dog walking and marital relations done in the 2nd half of Husker games.

Some guys apparently like that kind of thing. There's no shortage of big women having babies though most of them are a little more darkly pigmented than that one.
There's plenty of white fatties. See Iowa.

There is a certain size that leggings and crop tops should not be made in, like it should be a law or something.
