Say, I am wondering about the provenance of this thread because I see a number of forum members who are very familiar from my time on the OOTPB game threads but who do not usually frequent Talk Sports: rudel.dietrich, Le Grande Orange, AirmenSmith, Antonin, Pelican. I don't remember this thread, but it may have occurred during the time that I was away from Talk Sports. Or it could have been moved here.

There are some Premier League stadiums with a whole lot less seats.
The key is premium seats. If you can get $1400 for a suite that seats ten, instead of a hundred nosebleed seats that sell twice a year, then why not?
