Sep 6, 2019, 5:47 PM

the Valley is listed as 81,500. But, our all time highest attendance is listed as 86.092 for the Florida State game in 1999. Did the West Zone "expansion" really cost us ~4600 seats in capacity? Or is attendance on "The Hill" really down that much. I don't think it holds anywhere near that many.

We lost some capacity with the expansion, and the Fire Marshall reduced the number allowed on the hill.

All about safety!
But, wouldn't the people on the hill be able to exit the stadium quicker than the people say, in the upper deck?
Don't fully understand the limiting of people on the hill. But, I guess safety.
The way people have lost interest in actually going to the game DV is perfect size now! We are just ahead of the curve as far as down sizing, LOL!

aluminum burn. So, just put fieldturf rug on the Hill, and enforce capacity only in the fancy suites, fire potential problem solved!

Fire Marshall’s are responsible for more than just fire safety silly. They enforce commercial zoning codes and there can be many reasons other than fire to limit cramming people on top of another. Terrorism is one.

Let a terrorist in Death Valley and point him out, and he will quickly find out that the stadium is aptly named.

Not that you probably care but when A&M did the 3rd phase of the remodeling we went from 110,633 to 102,000

????

So not surprise to see the same thing happen in Death Valley

Tejas, you probably gained many more $$$ than those lost seats were generating. It's all about the Benjamins, modern times.

The official seating capacity is reserved seats and does not include the hill. Clemson Memorial Stadium has never an official capacity much higher than 81,500.

We lost a few seats with the West Zone expansion but we don’t have the 86K totals anymore because of fire marshal restrictions. Not only did we use to pack The Hill but we had temporary bleachers between west endzone and the permanent seats. People were everywhere.

In 99, not only was The Hill capacity fairly unlimited, but

... so were the other grass hills on either side of the old WEZ.

Limiting the number allowed on The Hill while doing away with the othr Green Grass sections has made a big impact on overall capacity.
