How does this work?
Nobody is arguing that LES is a luxury venue, but it's very functional
And it's owned and run by a church that is very frugal and utilitarian, so it will probably never be luxurious.

I fit into my regulation size chair just fine. You want me to tell the guys bringing them that? Sounds like fun.

It wouldn't reduce it that much, and we don't sell it out now.

There have been lots of upgrades since 1982. Have you not been?

Those are minor changes. Yes, I've been but haven't been impressed.

Adding the "plaza" areas in the corners was a great upgrade.
