That would have been a good idea, but I believe they focused on safety as the stadium's capacity expanded. The concourses were/still are too confined for the amount of fans in the stadium.

Had you ever snuck in to see those rooms? Very low ceilings with exposed pipes, very small rooms and just would have been more cost effective to tear them down and rebuild if they want to rent out that space than to renovate the rooms.

In principle, this sounds like a good idea. However, considering the security needs of a crowd of 102,321 and the level of comfort expected by the big donors, that will never happen in any of the dorms.

Nobody will pay big dollars for a room that 1) you can't bring anything into without getting it searched, 2) that is really small, 3) that has hall bathrooms, and 4) that you still have to go outside the stadium to get into the game (well, officially).

Cool, but impractical.
