Jack, as much as I'd love this -- as would most of us shallow-pocketed fans who rarely if ever make it to CHA and just about as often donate big bucks to the school we love -- I just don't ever see it happening. Not with Barta at the helm, anyway. He listens to the big guys and they want their seats down low so they can feel they are part of the scene, even if they rarely yell and their spouses sit there with their knitting or their book of the month.
The program has been at such a low point until the resurgence under Fran that it simply doesn't have the base of passionate support among students and non- or low-donors to boot the big money a ways up the stands. Barta needs the donations right now; hence, the current seating.
Maybe when Barta retires and a new, younger AD takes over this will happen. But not for a while.
