Hippodrome seats get no applause

One very simple way that may increase the revenues for the Hippodrome would be to modernize one thing — the seating ("Hippodrome finances get a rewrite," Aug. 5). I would attend more shows if I was not going to have to sit in the very cramped, (I weigh 165 pounds and stand 5-foot 10-inches tall) and very hard seats.

I can only imagine the discomfort of those bigger than I. What you lose in capacity you will make up for in repeat business.
