Before 2012, the Marriott Center [cramped] seating capacity was 22,700, then dropped to 20,051; most recent renovation dropped it further to the current 19,000.

Maverick Stadium seating capacity is currently 22,059. But prior to its renovation in 2014, the capacity was 25,513; and before a 2006 renovation was 30,257.

As such, the Marriott Center's capacity at any particular point in time has never been greater than the capacity of Maverick/Romney stadium at the same point in time
