Stadium reduction. FSU Football, basketball, and baseball attendence trends (Update)

Interesting to see this happening at FSU and UF.  My guess is FSU winds up around 70-72K and UF around 80-82K.

As part of this process, the stadium’s seating capacity could be reduced. More from the AP:

“There was a time when, probably when the north end zone (section) was done in the early ’90s, when seat count is all anyone cared about,” Stricklin said last week. “Just cram as many people as possible in there. Obviously that is not (the case) when you talk to people who do facilities and stadiums these days.

“That’s not as important as quality and making sure you’re creating an environment that people want to come and participate in. The days of fans being OK sitting three hours on a piece of aluminum, I think, are gone. So we’ve got to find ways to upgrade the overall quality.”
