Would the proposed private luxury boxes affect the stadium’s status as America’s largest?
Yes. As diagrammed in the Ann Arbor News on January 20, 2005, the private luxury boxes would stretch from end-zone to end-zone on both sides of the stadium, at almost twice the height of the current press box, and consume existing seats. Apart from their negative aesthetic and social impact, these luxury box structures would also cap future expansion throughout most of the stadium. Any addition of seats would necessarily be limited to the upper reaches of one or both end zones.
