Re: Construction Cam is Up!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if an 'official' capacity amount was ever issued? On the architects website they say it is 6K....don't know if that includes the suites, SRO, etc.

Newest promo literature says 4500 but I don't think that includes the suites.

Tickets sold is what we report. The official seating was 3750 last year and we averaged 4000.

Where did you see this? I've been looking for that, plus info on the requirements for the club room, etc. Actually, even if anyone had wanted a suite, IDK how they would have gotten one....never saw any of this advertised. Because you know, @22K per suite, and a capacity of 10, that's 2,200 pp.....pretty steep, but still kinda doable.

I understand that, but you don't see a SRO capacity anywhere in documentation. When we averaged the 4000 there wasn't close to 4000 for most of those games. That's why we report tickets sold and not actual attendance.

I get that we report tickets sold but it's also why it can be reported as more than seating and we have had games with actual attendance way higher than seating Capacity. The capacity of the stadium is different than seating capacity was all i was pointing out.

I would guess stadium capacity would be determined by the Fire Marshall but I've never actually seen this listed on any of the stadium info I've looked into over the years.

Your information is incomplete on the suites. There is an up front cost to lease the suite. If memory serves me correctly it is somewhere around 150K for a ten year term. Then you have a yearly fee of close to 25K. That is somewhere in the ballpark of the true cost.

I would think so as well but that i think is total capacity including staff and workers, players coaches etc. A total number that could safely exit in emergency

That is my understanding as well. Each donor put up over 100k for the 10 years up front then the yearly fees as well. And I believe you had to still purchase season tickets each year, but not 100% on that.

Think the suites are for 20 each with nine leased for five years. The last suite is for the universities use.

Maybe there was no need to advertise the suites for sale if some folks contacted the department and put up money up front, therefore leaving none left to sell.

Well, even though that definitely rules me out under the 'waaaay too rich for my blood' category, it actually makes me kind of happy to know that we generated and are generating that kind of revenue for the baseball team.
And to think that they sold out with out any advertising at all.
Very impressive indeed.

It wasn't without "advertising". Robe had meetings almost every single day. It is no different than marketing extremely high end real estate. It is sent out to select clientale that they know are qualified to not only make the initial payment but also are financially sound to keep it up over the next decade.

I dread when they take them down: not only has it been fun watching the stadium go up, it is also a great/easy way for me to see what the weather is like in my neighborhood, no matter where in the world I am.
