Half of the office had season tickets. Made their reservation weeks in
advance. Even the non UH alumni employees are going, even more hardcore
than the locals.

The War Memorial isn't wood, it's concrete and aluminum. The concrete's
the original, then the aluminum (ok, maybe it's steel.. I dunno, I never
go on those sides) was added to bring it up to Hulabowl-standard.

"The Superdome has a listed maximum football seating capacity of 72,003
(expanded) or 69,703 (not expanded), a maximum basketball seating
capacity of 55,675, and a maximum baseball capacity of 63,525; however,
published attendance figures from events such as the Sugar Bowl football
game have exceeded 79,000."

Not sure why the basketball capacity would be smaller; seems like you
could get more people courtside on the "field", unless in doing so you
would block the view from seats in the lower football bleachers.
