We might drop below Bama, LSU, UT, and tu with 26 new private suites on the south end of Kyle Field. It will look nice though and our total number of suites is about 145 to 150 among the most of any college stadiums.

OH NOES!!! We make more money, keep our old records (which was actually during the rebuild) and have potentially more fan engagement???

Good question. The sips never adjusted their total seating capacity of DKR after they finished their South EZ project, even though they stated before they started the construction that it would diminish the total number of seats available, but that would be a net positive because those more premium seating and standing areas would generate more money.

It's still listed as 100,119. So, both of those things cannot be true.

I hope our Athletic Dept. Administration is more honest and forthright about our new numbers. I'm guessing we'll still be over 100K, though, unlike where sip almost assuredly is.

Good. Someone's got to come up with the NIL cash and it's not coming from the cheap seats suites.

Don't count on it. They are always finding new places for 'standing room'

They surely didn't handle the new suites in the south endzone conversion issue properly and honestly, so what makes you think they will handle anything honestly?

Maybe he had seats taken away like I did...again?

Rather have more seats than more, more expensive seats.

Bad decision for average fan!.

All the big boys do this.

If they sell SRO tixpossible "capacity" did not change

Why would you spend all that money to have ****ty seats?

I was over the E right at where the suites are, it's actually a pretty good view.

They were the closest seats to the field after anything in the first deck. The view was excellent, which is why no one would give them up during reseating.

This could be a good thing, seeing as the West stands are just a bunch of rich families on a family outing to eat, drink, watch the jumbo, and sit on their hands.

If we put them all behind glass, imagine the reverb echo coming from the 12th Man across the way as their voice hits that wall.

A bartender, waitress, and catered food. Not to mention the private restroom. They're sweet!

Capacity won't change. We can fit 108,000 no problem.

True, but they announced that the expansion would lower their capacity, so I'm wondering what the true deal is.

Two words: Fourth Deck

The renderings look great. I think while it's being built they are going to install the Fan Net over the field, stretched between top of East and West Decks, that will allow you to lie face down and watch the game.

Tell me somebody has photoshopped this. Curious to see what a 180,000 seat stadium looks like.

Gotta go all the way around. Asymmetrical Kyle is not a good look.

Can't imagine how much heat it would trap...

OP, what does seat capacity matter if we get the other benefits?

Someday, we will replace a lot of the bleacher seats with armchair seats, and end up reducing capacity by a bit in the process. The home viewing experience is such that you have to make the live viewing experience better in order to keep people coming in person. I expect all west 3rd deck seats will eventually be armchairs, and probably a good bit of the seats in the south end zone upper decks that are sold as season tickets.

I regularly visited the original L-6 and I didn't witness that.

I don't know where, but I'd swear I read/heard that seating capacity would not change.

The 2nd deck of the SEZ are awesome seats. They've been the best deal at Kyle since the addition/renovation. The Suites will be... Sweet...

On the nose…

In my 38 years of owning season tickets, I have had kinda crappy seats, kinda better seats, way better seats and then the best seats we have had which are the ones this suite situation has caused us to lose. We "had" seats behind the goalposts in the second row since the south endzone opened and then lost them. Things happened right in front of us! The noise level at some times was deafening! The intro was right there! And to make matters worse all of us that became friends in this area are now scattered all over the landscape. There is a bad taste in my mouth over this as I think we got screwed.

You didn't get screwed; you got priced out.

Don't know if it's screwed but it also wasn't priced out. The people who got moved out of the SEZ In place of the Suites never were given a shot at getting those Suites. Not that any of them would be able to afford it...

Not quite 38, but not far behind. Nobody had ever sat in the seats I had in the Zone, I had them from day 1. I was moved with no possible way to keep my seats, the seats are still there, just not for me. To be clear, money was not an issue, athletic department supposedly scooped 'em up. I highly doubt that, though. Moved South, guess what, same damn thing. I didn't get screwed like the endowed guys did, just screwed.

For those that hate on the seats, they sure didn't suck in the LSU overtimes game. It was awesome to shut that stupid band up.
