The endzone seats would be a little higher off the field but it wouldn't be that bad. And it would save a lot of money.

then the people on the sidelines wouldn't be able to see over the player's heads. if this were a soccer stadium it wouldn't be a problem... but it's not.

Then lower the field accordingly.

But lowering the field will make the current obstructed views worse, which was the point of my original post.

Looking at the renders (especially next to the corner tunnel) it looks as thought they only plan to add about 5 rows max to the lower sidelines, so my guess is that they will just be adding the rows and not lowering the field.

Yes, restructuring the entire endzone stands would be a major renovation and there is no mention of this in previous posts, so I would be surprised if they took that approach.

Who pays more money? The guy on the top row of the endzone? or the guy front row 50 yd line?

That should answer your question.

It won't make that much of a difference to lower the field by 6 feet or so anyway.

There is no real sollution .The angle of the upper tier is not that big,the people there already dont see the whole TD area,bringing the turf even lower means those same people woulndt see like a 1/4 of the field.Only real sollution is to demolish the upper tier and make it steeper.But this after u bring the sidelinescloser.If u add the costs of a roof,i dont't know if it is really worth it.

When you are talking about a Super Bowl crowd, they are all bigwigs. So just lowering the field, and making the views from the upper end zone worse, virtually destroys this venue for Super Bowls.

Then couldn't you just remove the first few rows of the upper deck?

That would help a few people, but not those further back. Plus the capacity is now lower. I don't see any way to fix that place, short of a major ($100 million plus) rebuild.

I think I have that covered. I already said it won't make that much difference, and I am right. Deal with it and move on.

Not really, he posted something that was already debunked, so he didn't even read the posts above, therefore he needs to pay more attention.
