I am not sure if I have ever seen it full. Looks like garbage during PATs...

It is not intended to look full. Most people stay in the air conditioned box and watch the game instead of sitting outside in the sun.

My issue with TT has always been paying premium money for end zone seats and it is incapable of being built upon for more seating...unless you want to double costs and built an entire separate support structure directly above TT and then build upon that.

Short sighted pre-Oliver Luck thinking there.

I don't think we'll need more seating. We usually can't fill what we have. The thing I don't like seeing on TV are those ends of the upper deck that are almost inevitably empty. Maybe instead of having the upper deck be a rectangle they should have had it curve downwards at the end to make a bowl shape. It would be less seating and plus it would take away what must be the worst seats. The upper deck at the end at the top must be terrible seats so I can understand why nobody sits there unless there is no other choice.

If you aim high you can always land low...if you aim low there is only once way you will land.

isn't the upper left opposite side for students? That's why its always empty probably--they attend poorly and leave early.

I would go further. I have hated it since it was first announced. The low arena should have mirrored the other end and then the cash machine put on top of that. It lacks all visuals and acoustics in this form and that was something that was obvious from the plans before the shovel was turned. Many stadiums have seats they cannot fill, so what? On those dates when they do fill them it is great and WVU has at least a couple of those dates every year.

The current setup just looks like hillbilly engineering where we stick stuff on as we need it without any care to what the place looked like when we started.
