9News (KUSA) in Denver had a report tonight and showed footage of construction crews tearing out seat in the upper deck, [300 section]. This is to make way for the 5280 club. It will feature a bar that is 52 feet 8 inches and have great views of the Mile High City.

How about spending less money to renovate a stadium that you can't fill and spending more money on staff and players?sigpic

On a side note I am thinking that they will sell some of the seats as a fund raiser, with the Purple seats going for a premium. I hope they at least give Healton #17 a purple and a green set. Also save a purple and green #2 for Troy.Ask me about My Jesus and how to have a relationship with Him.

Originally posted by Southstander View PostSince they will have fewer seats they will potentially sell fewer tickets. Since there will be fewer tickets avaliable ticket prices can go up. Giving the benefit of a doubt maybe that will increase revenues to help get free agents.:lombardi:2019 Adopt-A-Bronco: Dr. Dre'Mont Jones

I gotta say I was at coors field this sept. that place was pretty dam nice. I have limited BB experience but two buddies that were with me have been to a lot of places and thought the same. I told them about the Reno and the first response was that there was another reason to make Denver our next year mancation destination. I would love to sit in a place like that and watch the game!sigpic

I have been involved in the design of some sports arenas and worked with HOK Sports who designed a lot of ball parks. Wrigley Field is the model often referred to in that it provides a venue where business people can attend a game during the day and entertain regardless of how good the home team is. The Cubs seldomly field a contender-- yet they make a lot of revenue off attendance and concessions by business attendees.
The average family of 4 will not drop $100 each to go see a game, but businesses will pay that as a write-off marketing expense. So, these improvements are about getting more revenue from those that would usually attend the game.sigpic
