Maybe, but I doubt it.

They probably could if they ditched the "every seat is a chairback" idea.

Not sure how well that'd go over though. Maybe they'd try to make the incline of the seats be higher?

Great idea. Perhaps NorVa Plastics could get involved. Give a local manufacturer a chance to make some money and keep it in the community. If it would save a million dollars that would go toward a scoreboard etc I bet you could get ODAF members out there to install seats. 500 people could install a lot of seats. Have Hoffman beverage donate a few kegs, have an alumnus cook some BBQ and get r done. Get the inmates to do the rest and we probably save a ton of cash.

No offense, but that's probably the worst idea I have heard in a long time.
