Really? They don't have blueprints or computer models that would show exactly how many seats the stadium would hold?


It's not up to the blueprints and computer models. It's up to the state fire marshal. When construction is complete, the fire marshal will inspect and come up with the official limit based on exits and stuff like that. It's not as simple as just making each seat a half inch narrower to increase capacity.

Any architect or contractor that didn't take all that into account beforehand would quickly be out of business.

I'm going on record as saying the mystery on the new capacity is totally LSU's doing. They will be making a big deal out of this.

Someone should tell the LSU AD we fans don't really care for these kind of surprises.
