It's a pantheon of concrete, steel, and PVC.

no there isn't and you probably won't be able to see the field from back by the concession stands anyway.

Media members, officials, vendors and security are already being counted in "stadium capacity". This explains how you can go from 92k to 102,321 by only adding 8k seats. The fire marshall will have far more determination on the actual capacity than how much room there is available behind the seating.

ETA: I'm wrong. The number does not already count the SRO.

What you think is SRO is over half bleachers. That isnt all flat ground in front of the Legos. Go look at the pic posted on page 2

There will be some NEZ expansion in the future albeit not soon. There have been at least 9 or so phases of TS over the years that i can count.I never thought they would ever do the first west side expansion until thy did it. All it takes is return on investment and it will be done. With the economic forecast for LA there just may be enough demand to justify, especially for suites. Never underestimate TAF. I'm a 30 year season ticket holder. If you were to have told me I would pay double in TAF fees what my tickets face value are I would have said you were crazy. It's difficult to comprehend the future with a present state of mind.

Didn't read all the post, did you?

Because the areas next to the scoreboards are both wider and deeper than I thought they were from the 3D seats pic..

There really isnt any SRO room at all. I'm not sure what you are looking at to be honest.

Alright, I'm just gonna bookmark this thread until the season starts, and we all witness first hand how much the SRO number will affect attendance.

We'll be neck and neck with Kyle Field this year. And ahead of Kyle Field next year, when they downsize to add more premium seating.

Not really. If you think they are adding an additional 7k in sro when the expansion itself is only about 8-9k I really don't know what to say.
