For some reason, our athletic department never published the seating totals for the new DNF. If they have, I haven't seen it. It's odd, because that it usually one of the main pieces of information that gets released.

Old DNF figures, per Hailstate.com:

4660 chairbacks
180 skybox chairbacks
2700 approx bleacher seats
_____

7200 total (yeah, I know that doesn't add up, but that's what is posted)



New DNF figure, per published plans (give or take):

3219 lower level chairbacks
1454 upper level chairbacks
315 Omaha Club chairbacks
200 Omaha Club seats other (approx.)
240 skybox chairbacks
_____

5428 total


So, the total reserve seating is going up by 580 or so, but total actual seating capacity is being reduced by nearly 1800, unless I am missing something. I don't understand why we are going with the berms. Seems like it would be a relatively small cost to just go ahead and put in more ground level chairbacks. After all, there's only going to be one section-worth of berm on the 3B side.
