Capacity Dips With New Concert Stage
The capacity of Rio Tinto Stadium will be taking a bit of a dip for the rest of the summer, now that the team has cleared out several hundred seats in the south end to make way for the concert stage.
Official capacity is now 19,340 — that's 668 fewer than normal — plus any of the new standing-room tickets the team hopes to begin selling when RSL plays Colorado in the next home game June 6. The plan isn't finalized yet, and the team still needs to inspect a few details. But standing-room tickets probably would cost in the $10 range and allow most (if not all) patrons using them to watch the games from the empty space under the temporary stage shelter in the south end.
And since concessions aren't as easily accessible from that south end as they are in other parts of the stadium, the team is looking into moving a few beer carts nearby. You know, for that nice, cool, liquid refreshment.

How do the supporter groups feel about this? Kind of sucks they are getting squeezed out, but then again it seems like only the ones with the RB flags have a good sized group there anyway.
