It's a lipstick on a pig option by a new stadium won't improve the viewing experience for anyone.
"Fantastic" might be a bit of a strong word. I'm a STH and my bench seats are garbage. Plus the seating is very cramped with limited leg room. Pretty sure new stadiums are designed with more aisles too, so you're not getting up as much for people. Might sound like minor issues but all together it adds up to a not very good fan experience which is what's needed more these days in order to draw new/younger fans.

Also - not sure where they could put in luxury boxes - especially the mid-level ones like they have at New Mosaic. Those are pretty much cash machines for the Riders.
