There won't be any expansion or renovations of the seating unless someone writes a big check. Raising ticket prices simply will not generate the revenue necessary to fund such a project. It could be a while before anything happens.
This may be true for expanding the entire stadium, but I think the club expansion and suite additions may come sooner, rather than later. When that happens, there will be a need for a complete re-seating.
They are going to have to work up a system that is different than Kyle since so many long time season ticket holders didn't make donations unless they also had football tickets. So, there are a lot of folks with great seats that won't rank high in PP.
I am hoping they allow those who make substantial donations to the renovation ($500K and above???) to get their pick of seats (right or wrong), then existing season ticket holders are given the right to keep their existing seats (or as close as possible due to the changes) at whatever rate the TMF sets. After those two selections, all remaining tickets will be sold (max 4) based on PP rank,
It might not be perfect, but it is better than re-seating the entire stadium based on PP and shafting those who have supported the baseball team for many, many years.
