With Doak Campbell renovations nearing completion - FSU announces reduction of 12k seats in new capacity

Long story short, FSU went through a $265m renovation of Doak last year to gut one sideline to install a series of lower suites. The updates have now been finalized and come with a reduction of seating capacity that takes the stadium from around 80k capacity to 67k, slightly more than Lane.

Doak Updates

It does beg the question, if and when Lane goes through its next round of updates, and if we ever hope to keep up with the Jones', especially in terms of providing equitable fan amenities to our peers, we will need further updates, what direction are we going to go?

Doak reducing capacity makes a bit of sense. FSU stopped packing in the stadium regularly in recent years, so this probably brings them down to where capacity should be. We don't necessarily have that problem right now, but what could we do to Lane without doing something similar to dig in suites where seats are currently?
