Because Clemson makes a good bit of money "selling" seatbacks every year

81k are already smashed in there now They will not reduce the seating so unless they want 70-75 k comfortable, I say no

UNC needs to cut down on the glare from the sun shining on the aluminum for the 12:30 Raycom games.

If UNC had fans in the stands there would be no glare. Maybe they plan to put cut-out figures in the seats so it will look like a full house.

I have waited for years for the Tigers to make this Improvement but it will never happen because it would reduce seating capacity by a large number. Even backs on the aluminum benches would help but the powers that be say no way! I really don’t like the rented seats. The ones I have had are not stable.

Have you ever sat in those seats in Keenan?
Mar 23, 2018, 2:53 PM

The originally had bleachers..and the isles were designed with only bleachers in mind. The stadium seats just don't fit!
Those are terrible seats as you have no leg room and nobody can pass by.
This is the LAST thing they need at Clemson.

I've been suggesting this for years...
Mar 23, 2018, 2:58 PM

but doing so would likely decrease capacity by at least 10,000 (maybe more).
The bleacher seats at Clemson weren't designed to accommodate this type of seat so sufficient leg room would probably be an issue.

You'll understand how over 100,000 can fit like in a tuna can.

Tennessee’s stadium it is the most uncomfortable by far. Everybody on the row had to stand up to let let you get to the aisle. Hopefully they are removing some rows from each section to accommodate this move.

Unc fans have little to stand for thus they need the seat backs. We Tiger (having more to be excited about) are usually on our feet cheering!

Seat backs would be great for us too
Mar 23, 2018, 4:39 PM

from a comfort perspective, but it would result in a much lower seating capacity and a higher ticket cost. Both would cause many fans to whine and complain even more about the “good ‘ol days” (if that is even possible).

These in our stadium? So you can sit down? And post your comments and pictures on social media? If so, go to chapel hill or the pros. Not having them in DV is the best thing going. Make it uncomfortable to sit so everyone stands. We use to have the best atmosphere in sports. We’ve already ruined it with the Hill. Don’t need to ruin it more.

Doing that has cut their capacity from 62,980 to 51,000.
