I am sure they will want to keep it from obstructing views of downtown as well.
I have never thought that the concourse is overly crowded. Usually you are able to stand on the concourse right behind home plate with not much of a problem.

Without it being linked to the NBA, just like the UFL wasn't linked with the NFL....it will fail. It is too hard to draw good numbers on a consistent basis. Maybe in Sioux City, they might do alright, but where there are already a ton of other entertainment options, it will be a hard sell.
