"Florida Football: Is reducing capacity in The Swamp a good idea?"

It's happening no matter what the casual fan wants. The boosters with the money gave it to the UAA to make it happen.

 

I’m kinda divided on it. It will be interesting to see what they do. I’d rather pump money into concessions and have “Masters Golf” prices. I’m not too worried about seats. It’ll get loud when it needs to. Nowadays more and more fans aren’t interested in that type of environment, which is the saddest realization for me.

 

They don't care about loud fans, they want rich fans, so they will do whatever it takes to make those fans happy, if they can sell loveseat size seats to 40000 people instead of bleacher seats to 80000 they will.

They want the cheap fans to stay home and watch on TV.

 

Well some fans would rather sit at home and watch the games on their 70 inch TVs with cheap beer.

 

And use a bathroom that doesn't smell like piss and vomit.

 

Get it wrong, and it doesn’t matter if Florida football wins the national championship.

Here’s where you lose me. Your pride of having a 90,000 seat stadium over a national championship is illogical. National championships matter!

 

"This will be a defining moment for Scott Stircklin. Get it wrong, and it doesn’t matter if Florida football wins the national championship.

Gator Nation will still want him gone."

Yeah, I disagree with that. If Napier works out, I think Stricklin will get his share of the credit.

As for the topic at hand, this is the next arms war in the SEC so best get a move on it.

 

I think this is going to make our stadium more comfortable. As I age comfort becomes more important. I had a roommate in college whose dad had a pee bag. I used to envy him when he didn’t have to use the bathroom. Didn’t envy my roommate when he had to empty it. That is respect. lol

 

Correct!

Look at the Sphere in Vegas. That thing is phenomenal! Inside has a 250 ft tall 3/4 wrap around LED screen, 16,000 surround sound speakers and haptic seating.

 

The ability do use that stinking bathroom before you shit yourself is important also. They have to have way more.

 

I can dig it. Keep the feel of the old swamp, but make it new.

 

I’ll pay an extra hundred bucks for a chair on the 50

 

not even close, the Sphere cost 2.3 billion to build.

 

HA! In one of the other threads I did a quick toilet fixture count of what would be required by code.

 

Here it is, it was in that Architect hiring thread. Unfortunately my firm will not be going after it.
