I was thinking the same thing. It seems they were initially selling 2015 STs for what appears to be the first five rows A-E (i.e., the ones below concourse level before the double lettered AA etc rows begin) but they probably changed horses midstream when they were faced with such a low uptake that it wouldn't offset the custodial, concession and security expenses of having the UD open.SammyGreene wrote:Not sure guys, I think that 2015 seating chart was prior to their decision to close the upper deck. The link to 2015 season tickets on their home page takes you to this seating chart.

The number of seats getting closed down as a result of this move isn't all that large, perhaps a couple thousand, it's just that the optics of closing it off entirely are a bit of a downer. If they were to have just as quietly tarped off an equal number of seats at the very back of the lower deck endzones, it wouldn't have come off so negatively — not that this would have been viable, as the UD closure was done to cut costs; tarping lower bowl seats wouldn't accomplish this as readily.
We will probably (hopefully) see those first five UD rows, maybe more, opened up for single games as warranted during the season, esp perhaps the two Ssk games.
