Today that standard is now about 22”. You can look at the wings which are newer, and they are at an 18” standard.

It was an interesting display, but I was startled to see that the stadium was listed as having a capacity of something like 38,000. When I was there the stadium had not undergone any additions, but the capacity was listed as 64,000. I asked how could this be. The answer was that they had gone through the stadium at one point and reduced the size of the bleacher seats all the way around the stadium. This was enough they claimed to add about 24,000 seats. I still find that amazing and baffling. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Not too many years ago when you could actually access a seating chart, I totaled them and they were less than 20,000k numbered seats.

"Peden Stadium is undergoing expansion plans aimed at enhancing its facilities and capacity. Current Plans The expansion includes increasing seating capacity to accommodate more fans. Upgrades to amenities such as restrooms, concessions, and fan engagement areas are part of the project. The timeline for completion is not yet finalized, but discussions are ongoing. Funding and Support Funding sources include university budgets, potential state support, and private donations.Community engagement and support are being sought to bolster funding efforts. Impact on Events The expansion aims to improve the overall experience for attendees during athletic events.It is expected to attract larger crowds and enhance the stadium's appeal for hosting various events.For the latest updates, check the official Ohio University athletics website or local news sources."

Airline coach seats should be the standard.

It's time for data centers to pay their fair share.

It was a fun time and OH have things have changed.

Then make 55,000 a football fact in the media guide.
