Sooooo, $350M worth of improvements. Got it.

Yes, you get what you pay for.In total, 20,000 new chairbacked seats will be added in the west and south. Of the four seating levels in the south, the bottom two sections will be for students, while the third deck will have chairbacks, and the top deck will not. The entire west side will consist of chairback club seats.
You will also see wider seats in the new areas, increasing from 14 to 20 inches. That alone is why you will see capacity drop by 6,000.
Dannen also shared that 25 percent of the stadium seats currently do not require a donation, and the plan is to keep that number the same.
The big difference will be that the two new sections of the club seating on the west side will come with a premium. Seats in the upper north and south end zones could actually be less expensive than they are now.
This will all get sorted out in a stadium reseat, which will also eliminate the “legacy” or grandfathered pricing that roughly 40 percent of season ticket holders currently have. Moving forward, everyone will pay the same amount for a seat in a section.
Why the **** would you put bleachers in the upper south if you're rebuilding the whole thing? That's dumb as hell, I guess they felt they had to leave donation free tickets available in the upper endzones.
