Any insight... Parking, Primetime, Great America, Seating... Will
there be an exception made for Super Bowls... I only ask this one
question because I was under the impression that a Super Bowl site
had to have a minimum seating capacity of 80,000... Is this true??
Does anyone have info on this... If this is true, why are they saying
that they are going to put a bid in for a Super Bowl??? Curious

I don't know where you got the 80,000 idea... It was just in Miami which only holds 75,000 (apx) and it's being played at Lucas Oil Stadium (2012) which has a Max seating capacity or 70,000.

It was one of the first things I thought of after it passed and I think we will be fine with the ability to expand to 75k.
