Solution is simple. Put in mid- level full service boxes around the arena, taking out about 2000 seats total. Bring the seats behind the goals right up behind the baskets. Make press row, press rows, with working tables from row 1 up to row 6 in the corner opposite the band. Make all seats below the boxes regular chair back seats for students on the side opposite the benches but make sure the TV cameras face the students. Then make ALL seats starting immediately above the boxes theatre style cushion seats up to about 15 rows from the top. Top 15 rows go back to full regular chair backs like we have now. Make the arena tight and cozy with “seats” for 8000 to 8200 max. No more elevated upper level. You come out of the portal and there are seats to you left and right, with a 5 foot walkway like at Davis Wade. That way there is no “ disconnect “ between the lower level and upper level. 1 big crowd!!!
