That was my understanding as well, Ka.

I thought the same thing, but realize that the upper deck on the east side doesn't align with the bat-wings.



So it won't be possible to bowl in the stadium in the future unless they tear down the entire north endzone (batwings and all) and then replace it with a true two-tiered structure where the uppder deck of the end zone section is aligned with the extended upper deck of the east-side expansion.

If they don't want to bowl it in, then they could always just fix the north endzone so that it is a true upper and lower deck all the way across. I actually brought this up a long time ago on here: http://www.egriz.com/GrizBoard/topic22491.php#274972 and assumed they would eventually do the same thing in the south endzone. Mind you this was before the current design was finalized and reduced from 4,000 to 2,000, but this is what I came up with:





My rough math at the time put seating capacity at ~37,000. That was a while ago though. If I had my way today, we'd sit down with an architectural firm and create a plan so in 20 years WaGriz is basically a smaller version of the new Stanford stadium:



That would be awesome!!!
