It's interesting to note that almost all of the new stadiums built over the last fifteen years or so have had seating capacities lower than the parks they replaced. It seems teams made the conscious choice to build smaller parks so as to reduce supply and thus drive up prices (assuming demand stays the same as it did before the new stadium; in most cases, demand goes up for the first season or two due to the novelty effect of the new park).
