You have not looked at the seating capacities for each section in the new stadium. Even if the duplicated something like the new north endzone they would get 6200. I dont know where you get 2K from?????????

Logic tells me that if it's 7K seats from endzone to endzone (120 yards) it would be very difficult to squeeze in 10,000 seats in the endzone area (53 yards). I feel certain also that they would not demolish the gameday building to replace it entirely with bleacher seating, which is the plan with the other endzone, so that's apples to oranges comparison. I'm certain they would also put suites in the area.
So the other Phase II endzone with bleacher seating is 2700+3500 that is just a bit over 6000.... and not close to 10,000.

We are talking after Phase 2, where the east would have the upper deck (14,150). Also the North endzone would have the upper seating area (6200). Currently the north endzone is laid out so that it does not connect with the east or west sides on the upper deck. If you were able to connect both the east and west sides on the south endzone with the upper deck. you could easily get 10K more.
