Or is it a vantage point thing? I’ve sat in the lower bowl plenty of times and I have no problem watching the game from there. What’s the issue with this lack of lower bowl seats?

It's not about size or attendance any more, its all about luxury boxes. KK has said from day one that any new arena would likely be smaller in capacity compared to the dome but have many more luxury boxes. Thats where the ownership group will see a significant bump in revenue. They can't do that with the limited amount of boxes in the dome now.
