    A gigabit connection is 2^30 bits/second , which is equivalent to 128 megabytes/second.

    Let me put it this way, our IT guys refer to it as 1,000-BaseT. So I suppose it is a gigabyte network.

    Those of you who know me know that I don't need an explanation of the term "gigabit".

    I was correcting his original post which read "gigahertz".

    They are probably referring to your network data rate, not your internet throughput. Gigabit ethernets (802.3x) are common these days, and are very affordable for home/small business LANs. A gigabit internet spine would be extreme overkill, and extremely expensive..not to mention it would very likely require a complete renovation of all the surrounding hardware.

    I think it's essentially a wash, with some seats lost during renovation, some added.

    Unless I'm wrong, the approx. capacity should stay just above 92,000.

    Taken from LSUsports.net

    They say the current capacity is 91,600. And then...

    Making the grand total 94,855.

    However, I could've misread this.
