Or unfinished. I'm not sure which it is. There are a lot of black stacks of what look like extra seats stacked along the west sideline.

I could be wrong but wasn't that always the plan? Looking at the seating plan where you see those seats stopping and the benches starting is exactly where the $45 silver seats stop and the $35 bronze seats start.

In looking back at the original artist's drawings, you appear to be right. They showed blue seats on the sidelines and corners where the black ones are now, and grey seats in the end zones where the silver benches are. I don't recall any communication from the Lions saying those of us in the end zones would have to sit on benches, though.

Yeah, I though this was common knowledge, too. :S

Elementary my dear Watson. Everybody is all excited about going Back to the Future to get that nostalgic feel of old Empire Stadium. That couldn't possibly be complete without a place where fans can sit on planks in the middle of an October rain.

And they're going to move some pigeon nests up into the rafters so fans can get pooped on the head. Ahhh.. the good ol' days.
