    More videoboards on the back of the suspended seating?

    That's what Caesar's does.



    Reminds me of the view I had last time I was at the SHAC.

    The bottom of the girder is slightly above the top row. If majority of the suite could sit above the bottom of the girder with seating down a bit below the girder to allow their view to be decent, you might not obstruct it too much. Or just put videoboards on the back. I wonder if they're thinking they'd suspend it farther back from girder but that would require a heck of a lot more reinforcing as those are just somewhat standard metal joists out there. They would likely need to tie into the girders somehow or another.

    I think it is bit of a pipe dream because that reinforcing existing steel parts type of work is not going to be overly cheap. Not to mention if the 4 main columns in the corner will require reinforcing for the added loads.

    How are we going to remove the corner supports to round the bowl out if we have to add more reinforcement to them?

    It's hard to tell since our roof is slanted and their roof appears to be flat and the gondola is very close to the roof

    From the Gondola, you can see 4 rows. Theirs is tall and it's 2 levels. We could probably pull off 1 level

    I want to know why no one on Bisonville every thought of hanging seats from the ceiling before now? How is there not a napkin schematic on how this can be technically achieved?

    Because thats where Gabes Sky Bar goes.
    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Yes there was a cartoon he drew of people hanging in harnesses or seats watching the game.
