What are the hosts introducing and who are today's guests?

Petro Siebel 0:00
One right answer, that is. There can be only one right answer. It is the program here on Sports Radio 810 WHB. Petro Collier, Thunderdome. We welcome Todd Lebo. We welcome Peter Yates-Enoch here to the program as it is time to... It is time to play a little game. A little game we like to call There Can Be Only One. Starts by one welcoming Peter Yates-Enoch. Pete, how are you, my friend? I'm doing fine, Saran, and yourself? I'm doing well. I've got angry people. I've got people texting me, explaining to me that the stadium is not going to be loud anymore because it's only going to be the wine and cheese crowd. Because they're pricing out the game. I didn't think there were a bunch of cheap seats there. No.
Petro Siebel 0:48
Apparently, no one's going to go to the game except a bunch of people that are going to politely golf clap.
Peter Yates-Enoch 0:55
Well, I mean, pro sports is pretty expensive business now for all of them. Not just one sport. Yeah, I... Man, look at some of these prices. It's pretty prohibitive. Yeah, it's not going to get any cheaper.
Todd Leabo 1:09
If I paid that money, I'd scream my head off. When you sign the bill. What do you take away from it? If I paid the money to go to the game, I'd scream. Oh, I would. I'd pay $500 to go to this game?
Ah!
Todd Leabo 1:21
No matter who has the ball, huh?

How are ticket prices and stadium design changes affecting the fan experience?

Todd Leabo 1:23
They still haven't answered that PSL question, though, huh? Just still thinking about it.
Petro Siebel 1:28
No, they're going to get to it next year. We know where that ends. Yeah, I think we do. Are you surprised they didn't put more seats in it? I'm surprised with how many are there. I know you were probably coming in when I was saying this, but the most surprising thing that I've heard, there's nothing... I started hearing the translucent thing a few weeks ago, but I had always been hearing 64, 65, that the capacity of the stadium is going to go down, more premium seats. And, you know, I mean, I don't know if people know this, but like the 50 yard line seats are sold out. Like the premium seats sell out.
Peter Yates-Enoch 2:08
You didn't hear 70,000 when Stedman was around.
Petro Siebel 2:10
No. It would have been 90. Because then it was just about the quantity of people you could get through the door. But even the colleges are starting to realize, okay, wait a minute. People aren't going to pay top dollar to sit on a bench that covers one cheek. Yeah, in the nose. Yeah, so I was always under the impression it was going to be $65,000. And I will say this, their homage to Arrowhead is probably costing them some money, too, because I think they probably would have... I need to look at the... Now you're going to get me behind here, Pete. Come on, now. There can be only one way to get Sarin behind. Yeah. I'm putting in stadium renderings because I want to see if they have where exactly what the end zone seating looks like.
Petro Siebel 2:59
Because if you notice, like at Heinz Field, there's hardly any end zone seating. Yeah. Right? They basically make it so that you're going to sit on the side, and that's where they put all their money into. And on this one, there's still a lot of end zone seating. Yeah. In these pictures. And their little pointy top. And I'm going to tell you, I don't know where it's been lately, but when I gave up my tickets in like 18, our section wasn't even half full. Is that right? And so to me, I'm surprised at how much end zone seating they have. Like most of them are deleting all the end zone seating other than the lower bowl. Yeah. Seattle's the only one that's got that big thing in the middle, but everybody else, Heinz Field, you have like a scoreboard and a walkway, and there's nothing on the ones.
Petro Siebel 3:40
Like one end is usually some kind of nothing.
Todd Leabo 3:42
The Niners one is basically suites on one side of the stadium. How much do they hold? It's probably 70 for some things, but probably in the 60s, they had a Super Bowl out there. But the whole side of it's suites. Now that's Silicon Valley or whatever, but the side you don't see on TV is like,
Petro Siebel 3:59
Levi is 68-5, which can expand to 75. And my understanding is that this will have some expansion capabilities as well for a Super Bowl. But usually how they expand it is they take everything out of those middle concourses, make that like standing room only.
