#1 -- I'm glad the new plans (for the south end one and second deck) include more seats for average fans. The south end zone seats are cheaper than regular seats and I assume that that will be the case for the upper deck. That's a good thing.

#2 -- Parking is not bad. Given most of the seats are "regular fan seats" (parking for the suites is largely already covered), they will probably end up parking on campus anyway, where there is plenty of parking for fans.

I agree there is a concern if we will sustain crowds for 80K plus. I actually have my doubts. IF we don't, I assume the university would lower prices on the cheaper seats.
