When the stadium was reconfigured to make it "more like a football stadium" the potential football capacity increased to 68, 013 seats. Instead of doing away with concessions and poking kids and old people right at the back, why don't they just increase the capacity? There are thousands of tourist supporters at the games and games against the top teams are genuinely sold out. I am sure if the capacity was increased and tickets easier to get I am sure the support would increase and more than make up for what the lose on concessions. And the dwarf would get bragging right over the Spuds.

I think it's to do with health and safety they don't have the license for that amount of people so there is more seats than they are allowed to sell.

Hi Iron.Al You are correct the don't have the health and safety certs but they haven't even tried to increase the capacity since it went up to 62,500 which was in 2022. They were rumoured to be applying to go up to 66,000 but that was a couple of years ago.

{Ed001's Note - the biggest issue will be the same one that stopped Liverpool going bigger than they did. It will be about transport infrastructure in the area being able to handle the thousands of extra people.}

Maybe Ed001 but that didn't stop them having 80,000 at the Olympics or 80,000 for the Foo Fighters concert amongst others!

{Ed001's Note - ok.}
