We are eternally grateful! Me. I wrote it on my survey. The boys need airing out on those hot September days. 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Took survey yesterday. 110% behind the notion of making the seats wider/reducing capacity. No I don't care it will make our fancy attendance numbers drop. No I don't think it will encourage people to sit down more. Yes I would like being able to sit and do it without having to turn my body because some moron and his friends can't figure out they are in the wrong section and or row forcing the rest of us to cram in like sardines to accommodate their inability to read. A more pleasant game day seating experience will entice people to buy tickets and improve actual attendance, not hurt it like some want you to believe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Wider seats are fine, and it'll (maybe) help preserve the sellout streak to reduce capacity, but it won't do anything to alleviate the knee-in-back issue for us taller fans. Anyone over 6 foot doesn't fit in those seats no matter how wide they are. 4 2 2 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Raise the bench an inch or so and make the surface less concrete feeling. Plus the extra width should help alleviate at least a little of the leg space issues. I'd be curious if anyone with the actual numbers could calculate how big an impact removal of one seat per row would have on capacity. Quote Link to comment

Even without seat backs I feel like a contortionist trying not to knee someone in the spine. 1 Quote Link to comment
jamesbond Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just another reason to save the money to build a brand new stadium. Too many problems to try to fix in the dinosaur. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

They can easily go wider, but I'm not sure how they can make the seats deeper without reconstructing the stadium. Quote Link to comment

Ticket price $265.00 each. Pepsi $15. Beer $24. Hot dogs $18. Popcorn. $12. Pizza $15. Etc. Parking $45. Cushion seat add-on. $20. Restroom use $15. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
ActualCornHusker Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T BE SITTING DURING THE GAME ANYWAYS!!!! Half joking. But having to stand diagonally is a bit ridiculous. Quote Link to comment

Have to meat minimum size to buy those tickets. To be fair it probably has more to do with reducing the capacity to keep the sellout streak on life support. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The seatbacks in the cheap seats on the East side are brilliant. I was skeptical when I first saw them, but it made a big difference. Stadium seats would be ideal. Nah, those recliners like at the movie theaters. Quote Link to comment

Oh yeah, then a family of 4 could spend nearly a whole paycheck to enjoy a gameday experience with with their young kids (and future huskers). I all honestly this is already an issue and (in addition to lack of success) is part of the reason a lack of state pride is growing among the youth in our state. Quote Link to comment

To spend millions and millions for a stadium that gets filled for a whole 28 hours a year? Quote Link to comment
