Yeah, they're going to reduce the capacity from, I think it's 68,000 to 51,000, something in that.
And honestly, if you look around football, and I'm not talking about the football factories, not the Tuscaloosa, not Notre Dame, most of these other schools,
have smaller venues.
And I think they are better when it comes to atmosphere.
And I don't know if you can create that even with, like the Oakland A's used to do, tarpaulin over the outfield bleachers or whatever.
So what do you think of that deal?
I understand why.
I mean, those are empty seats.
A stadium that big, you're going to see empty seats no matter how you try to cover that up in coverage.
Not if you win a lot.
Well, again, that would be nice if you did that.
I remember back-to-back games.
You could take Nick Tarpaulin off then and sell more tickets if you would.
They had a choice to do this when they had Pitt Stadium still there.
They chose to make it a basketball arena.
It was the wrong choice.
Because that land is the land you should use, and now it's gone.
But given how the basketball team is going right now, they may have to start doing that at Peterson.
I hope not.
I mean, I want to see that place packed the way it used to be.
