OK, so how does that suck? Weitz says it does.

It’s not cynicism it’s a matter of preference. Can you tell me where I am being cynical?

It's Weitz who is being cynical, and you're agreeing with him.

Can you also point out where you’re getting the information on the pitch of the sections from the plans?

I am saying that information isn't on the plans, and Weitz, when he claims to have such information, is lying.

Are you suggesting that arenas that devote more space to premium experiences and have steeper pitches to upper decks are occupying a smaller footprint?

Not at all. Steeper pitches do very little (if anything) to reduce the footprint of a seating bowl, and in any case the upper bowl of the Saddledome is quite steep already. Maybe you bourgeois types haven't gone high enough to notice, but I've sat in the top rows of the upper bowl many times and it's a bad climb for someone prone to suffer from vertigo.

I’m stating it’s a trend in newer arenas (Barclays is a great example) and I fully expect it here.

And Weitz is stating as a fact that the upper bowl is going to suck, which works directly against the idea of maximizing revenue.
