My biggest complaint about the new park is this..... There are zero general admission seats. The sloped grass areas are great. But the upper 3rd base side should have a grand stand that can seat over 1200 people for general admission. Add to that the 150 people each grass area and you actually have something that is usable by the casual fan and their families.
I would still make all chairbacks accessible to anyone after the 3rd inning. If someone has the ticket to your chairback, you have to move. Simple, Simple Simple.
Grand stands for 1200 people would cost around 550k and that is with W-Flange style structure with aluminum planks. Add in end walls to dress it up and you are looking at maybe 700k all in. That is dang worth it, for the regular fans that would actually like to sit down during the game and were not on the season tickets list 8 years ago.
