Lots of seats are empty throughout the season.
Many are bought and then resold. I've had my same seats for the last 7 years and still don't know the who has the seats to the left of me. They have never been to a game. They are either empty or someone different is there every game due to the person who has them, resells through stubhub or the like.
Outfield seating or a hang out area as noted above is coming as long as the University puts their boot into the city's ass. No reason that road behind left field needs to remain there any more. That whole area could then be made something similar to what minor or big league parks have for food, beverages , or just SRO. The scoreboard was just going to be moved farther back (hence the removal of the road).
Not that I give a shit about their program, but they are rival and compete for recruits, Schloss and aggy have big plans to put more money to improve and get more seats for ugly ass bluebell. Disch Falk needs to get probably around another 1500 -2000 seats for the bigger series now for the upcoming fan bases that travel well (LSU, Arky, and a few others) in the SEC. The Yeti yard was just the beginning and a trial run. I even heard talk towards the end of the season that for next year it may or could be expanded or have another in right field by moving our bullpen.
Just stuff I've heard by talking with others (many with much more inside info than myself) at the ballpark.
