Problem is that you'd block the view from any seats above the suites, and the current press box. You would pretty much have to convert the whole west side upper deck to suites.

Those seats are extremely sparsely used anyway (that's where I usually sit). If money and engineering were no object I would turn the upper west into a row of suites moved to the front with a new press box on top of them. Move the 140 people who use the GA area to the south end zone (remove the tarps!). And then take off the upper east that is always empty so we can have great views from the suites. The we have a stadium sized for our current and projected place in CFB.

Your first sentence pretty much describes all the seats in HRS, but I agree with your propsed re-do of the current seating. That would be a nice view of downtown and the Med Center from the westside suites. The question is, would anyone use such suites?

I’m guessing it would be prohibitively expensive/challenging to knock down the upper decks without damaging anything in the lower bowl.
