Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades

I keep asking the same question but never seem to get an answer. Why are all those baseline seats across from the Rhody bench missing and the space dedicated to the press? This makes no sense to me on many levels. Can anyone explain this??? There's no seating there because that's the load in area f...
