@SuperTFrog @tcumaniac @Paul in uhh @YA —Maybe it is a structural load limit on the club section. Maybe the options were to have one less row across the club section without cutouts, or to have the extra row with these cutouts flanking the club seating; the extra row maximizing the number of club seats closer to the field and the 50 yard line. Maximizing space in the Founders Suites underneath may have played into a structural load limit.
Now I am answering my own questions, with speculation; jeepers, I need to prioritize my time better.
