Rupp's 23,500-seat capacity will remain but adds chair-back seats to the upper deck, expanded concourses and a new center-hanging scoreboard.

They can't decrease capacity in favor of more premium seating, since they'd get a backlash.

ESPN: Rupp renovation plan unveiled

It adds a center-hanging scoreboard and chair backs throughout, a reconfiguration that university athletic spokesman DeWayne Peevy says could include creation of club suites to retain its capacity of 23,500.

 

Naming rights will be determined, but Gray stressed that Rupp will be included in the title of the project he believes will benefit fans and the city.
