they interviewed a stadium designer in Sports Illustrated. He designed a stadium in Japan, not sure if its the same one, but he can take an arena from 20k to 30k in 10 minutes, the toilets actually fold up and sink back in to the wall and the wall moves back. All with the push of a button.

Yes, I have been to that arena. Had a business trip there a few years back. Very cool.

wouldn't this design be ideal for for a small university like Utah state or weber state? You get a 37k football stadium a 20k bball stadium it can also be use for wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, tennis....If they could find a way to make it shift to become a baseball stadium that would be cool as well
