That stadium has always promised more than it's delivered. This will be no exception.
Let's see, the location is not changing. It's dreadful. The foundation of a 23 year old bland structure will remain the same. I've been there 6 times this year and it's dull slabs showing their age everywhere.
The most important variable is seat location closer to the field. I looked at that closely this season at the Canes games. Literally every halftime I studied the seating angles in the lower deck. Everything is sensible based on seats ending where they do now, 25+ yards from the sideline. The angles don't work if you add more seating. It would flatten out, allowing almost no viewing at all other than the back of someone's head like back seat of a car. You either have to lower the field significantly, which causes even worse problems for spectators high in the upper deck who already can't see the full field, or the lower level seating needs to be completely torn apart and begun anew, leading in logical step ladder approach to the base of the boxes. I have no confidence they would take that step as opposed to a paste job. Every so-called upgrade has been a paste job.
The design was horrid in the first place. This reminds me of an artist who stubbornly insists on gobbing more and more paint onto a failed concept, instead of starting over with fresh canvas.
Don't you think it's remarkable that this problem first surfaced only a few months ago, when Goodell raised concerns and the stadium bigwigs were stunned, and somehow they've already got a specific design in mind? This is South Florida, where stadium issues require years if not decades. We have variables other areas do not, like heat/humidity concerns co-existing with hurricane potential. As a gambler, I'd bet they blow it, in one major aspect if not several.
