The need for a larger seals has been recogni hi ‘A new stadium was at first con- ,Sidered, but double-decking was \Gecided on because of the low- er cost and also because it could be completed sooner. The bowl was first etilarged from its 22,000 capacity, in 1937 with wooden end zone bleach" ers which were replaced in 1945 for bleachers of steel tubular- supported sections, giving 35,- 000 seats. A.new wrinkle in construction is being employed in the double- decking with the use of prefab- ricated concrete slabs and joists. ‘The idea was developd by the Miami city engineering depart- ment in order to circumvent the steel shortage, reduce the cost to a minimum, and get the job done quickly. The cost will be approximately $1,300,000. Engineers say another feature of ‘the concrete docking in the new section will be the elimina- tion of hhoise which would have resulted from reverberations be- tween two steel decks. With 60,000 seats, however, the seating problem for the one game will not be solved. There already are more than 80,000 Iticket requests for the 1948 con- test. In connection with the game, there is always a mamoth New jYear’s Eve parade and between {halves a show with several thou- sand participants.
