Attended Stadium of Fire- was reminded LES has a potentially fatal seating flaw.

This is my biggest complaint. The leg room at LES is small. I'm only 5' 11" and I feel cramped.

Part of the problem with leg room is people leaning back in their seats, though.

I think people lean back in part because of no room for their knees in front.

PJMort

7/10/19 4:35pm

Agreed. The legacy seats on the east side feel like they have plenty of legroom.

Never mind it sounds like they did reconfigure the slope of the stands.

Seriously, the leg room is awful

When they remodeled the marriott center they were able to change the leg room.

How did they handle that when they added seats to the east side?

It is also because most of the crowd is there for BYU

People are larger now than they were when LES and the Big House were built.

The problem with Sam Boyd is the location and the huge dirt parking lot.

Notre Dame is brutal too

Much better now. Not sure if you have been to a game recently?

I am 5’10”, for me the width is a bigger problem. Wide bodied neighbors.

I would be happy to just have two seats for myself if it would work. It doesn't.

I've posted about this before. Totally agree. It's insanely cramped

People are just more whiny and unwilling to make any

Yes ND fans complain about the seats. Yes, ND made changes.

When they re-did the Legacy Seats on the East side, they had to re-do the rows

It's weird. LDS are by and large tall people - lots of Danish and Norwegian viking stock. Then you have these

Bob Vance

*Danish and Swedish. I don’t seem to meet a lot of LDS folk of Norwegian ancestry.

I'd rather have 40k real seats and some leg room than 65k terrible bench seats.

Why? You can only use one at a time.
