Stadium renovation

Someone should confirm or not whether seats will be moved closer. I think the only way to do that properly

is to lower the bowl. See how Texas A&M is doing this as we speak.

without lowering the field you can not just add a bunch of rows to get closer as the section would be flat. Granted the first row is pretty high currently so perhaps you could add a couple rows at an angle. But what you guys need to do most is to remove sections in the back. For those unaware even the Redskins had to do this.

note they removed even more sections last year.. see the difference between pic one and two. Hate to see it but Snyder is no dummy from a business perspective.

I posted this over two years ago.
I guess this is how they will add seats.

Apparently, they will make the field lower, providing the slope they need for additional (and closer) sideline seats.

Check this out. Mouse over "football" and proposed "football". Look at the profile at lower left.​

That is a nice looking upgrade.

Looks like something that can be blown away in one hurricane. Still, better than what it was?

Yes, its much better since half the people that attend games come back and **** about how hot it was and that they had to sit in the sun for 3 hours. This fixes that.

True. Good point. What color are the seats going to be? I missed that. Some kind of teal?

Going to football games in South Florida during the day is unpleasant. It's why I probably won't go to any games this year that aren't night games. I've had enough.
 
It was made for football and soccer. It was a retrofit for baseball when the Marlins became a possibility. It was never designed for baseball which is obvious when you consider that most seats face center field and not the pitchers mound/home plate.

he is literally pulling that out of his a$$. the whole idea of this renovation is to move seats closer to the field and there are plenty of good seats now. certainly enough for the amount of fans that show up.

How exactly would they move seats closer to the field? They are adding seats closer, but the existing stands, which will still account for 95+% of the seats will still be far as **** from the field! like they've always been. The playing surface at Sunlife is so wide you can literally fit two fields side by side in there. It's too **** big. It was a stupid design.

It was made for football and baseball you ******* idiot. You think they thought it was a good idea to make it like that just for football? rocks for brains!

Dumb****, it was made for football and soccer, and so that it could be modified for baseball later, and it was a bad idea to begin with beacuse it sucks for all three (except maybe soccer, and who ******* cares about soccer). I know what they were thinking, it was still stupid. Thanks for your contribution, now stfu and let the adults talk.

Actually, no. It was made for football and baseball, and so that it could potentially be modified for soccer. I've posted the link from when the stadium was build that describes this more than once on this board; I'll see if I can find it again. Whatever the case, rest assured that football and baseball were the main reasons, with the additional hopeful benefit that the stadium might also occasionally host a soccer game.

The shadows on the field are going to be so annoying. SLS, home of two Football teams and no soccer teams, is being altered to a soccer stadium. Can someone explain that logic to me?
