if they added to the south only. that's gotta top 115,000 total for Tiger Stadium.
Someone guess?
Both sides would top 130,000.
15,000 on each side.
that's what happened when the east side was added- +15,000 more.

My guess is it would be more suites and club seats with some bleacher seats above them kind of like Florida's End Zone.

That's a 23k expansion?

Your math is a little wrong.

adding 15,000 would make it 107,000. Adding another 15,000 would make it 122,000.

Plus 15k+ is a little generous considering each deck added so far was closer to 13k+ for each (92k current capacity-79k pre-Upper East). I assume the South/North Uppers would be lower in capacity due to the endzones not being bigger than the sidelines.

120K for both would be a more realistic estimate.

No, it only added about 11,000 and change. Capacity went from about 80k to 91.6k.
