to reach for an elevated fastball. He now has two concussions in less than a month, and he previously had at least one serious one during his minor league career. The Giants are con- cerned about the ones that may have gone unnoticed. "What you don't know, as we all learned in (Mike) Matheny's case, is how many times it happened in the minor leagues, or winter ball, or in a major league game, and the guy just wrote it and never said a word," general manager Brian Sabean said. "It was 'part of the job, part of the position.' Now there's more education and more people are in the know and under- standing." Matheny, now the St. Louis Cardinals manager, was never able to recover from a series of foul tips late in his career. He re- tired in 2007. Sabean said it is premature to talk about a potential position change for Sanchez. He has hit just .196 this sea- son, but the Giants still be- lieve in his potential at the plate. Sanchez is just 24 years old, is a switch-hit- ter and has flashed power potential. Scouts who follow the Giants remain intrigued by his potential as a big league catcher and be- lieve he is a far better hit- ter than he has shown. Any next step may have to come next season, though. The focus at the moment is on making sure Sanchez gets back to 100 percent, even if it takes a few months off for him to reach that point. "There's a real-life con- cern – our concern, and he should be very concerned," Sabean said. "We'll do what we did with (Bran- don) Belt. We'll be me- thodical about further testing and continuing to evaluate him." The Giants were instru- mental in the push for changes to catcher col- lision rules. Sabean said he expects the sport to look into another issue for catchers: The increased number of concussions. "I'm sure Major League Baseball, because of front office concerns, manage- rial concerns, medical concerns, will have to take a hard look at this," he said. "What is it? Is it the pitching that has changed? Are there more foul balls instead of balls in play? I don't have the answer. There's clearly a common theme there. Guys are getting hit more. But what is it — equip- ment, technique, better pitching? I don't know. I'm not an expert." Sanchez FROMPAGE1 "This team needs a new ballpark," Selig said. "(The Coliseum) reminds me of County Stadium in its fi- nal days, and of Shea Sta- dium. And that's not a com- pliment." Last week, owners voted Rob Manfred, 55, to serve as Selig's successor. Selig longtime deputy will offi- cially take over on Jan. 25, 2015 and is expected to re- ceive a three-year contract. Selig hopes that the Manfred's experience working on the Oakland issue all these years will eventually lead to a reso- lution. "He's been intimately in- volved," Selig said. "That's the good thing I think: Rob has been very involved in the lease extension and everything else. So at least the transition is good and constructive and will facil- itate that." A's manager Bob Mel- vin is a Selig fan. The two go back a long way — Melvin's great aunt, Es- tie Epstein, used to play bridge with the parents of Selig's wife. That connec- tion later helped Melvin get his post-playing ca- reer start. "So I've known him for quite awhile and admired what he's done. Baseball's better for his service," Mel- vin said. The manager credited Selig's major changes — such as interleague play, revenue sharing and in- stant replay — for creating a harmonious state of the game. "For an old-school guy, he's really had an eye on some of the new-school things," Melvin said. "It's been an incredible run, and he's been a great com- missioner." Selig FROM PAGE 1 sity and a stadium that sells their brand." When it comes to trends in stadium design, the folks at Populous are ex- perts. The Kansas City- based company traces its roots back more than three decades, and has been re- sponsible for everything from Reliant Stadium in Houston to the main Olym- pic stadiums in London and Sochi, Russia. "The thing about col- lege football is it's this big event where you're rooting for your alma mater," Spear said, "and now your alumni are returning to campus and spending money." That's the hope, anyway. Flat-screen televisions have made the home view- ing experience better than ever, and the rising costs of tickets and travel have sent many fans to watch games from the comfort of their couch. It's a prob- lem that has plagued pro- fessional sports for years but has trickled down to colleges, where the pre- vailing notion was that the alumni would always show. At Tennessee, in the heart of the football-crazed SEC, attendance sagged for years before a mod- est bounce-back last sea- son. Yet empty seats still abound at cavernous Ney- land Stadium, even with recent improvements that reduced capacity, improved premium seating and of- fered other enhancements, such as LED signage, bet- ter restrooms and wider concourses. In the Big Ten, eight schools showed a decline in average attendance last season. "We're grateful that we continue to sell out our sta- dium during some times in which it's not as easy as it once was," Oklahoma ath- letic director Joe Casti- glione said. "People have chosen to allocate their re- sources somewhere else. That doesn't necessarily mean they are less inter- ested in following their fa- vorite sports team. There are other demands on their resources." To counter those de- mands, Oklahoma recently announced a $370 million renovation to Memorial Stadium that will hardly add a seat. Instead, it will create new plazas — "fan cooling areas," for example — improved team spaces and the kind of sizzle that appeals to recruits. Elsewhere, stadiums are being tricked out with wifi that allows fans to not only stay better connected but also access replays, statis- tics and other information on mobile devices. Schools are adding bigger high-def- inition video boards and better sound systems. And they're going away from traditional grandstand seating in favor of clubs, loge boxes and other pri- ority offerings. "It's hard to sell a regu- lar seat in any sport right now," said Robert Boland, a professor of sports busi- ness at New York Univer- sity and a consultant to universities and confer- ences. "Having premium seats is a way to manage that issue." It makes sense, too. Many schools are flush with cash from the recent round of TV contracts, so they are pouring into up- grades that offer a return on their investment. And well-heeled donors not only have the disposable income to spend on loge boxes and luxury suites, they also can use them as a tax deduc- tion because they are clas- sified as contributions to the school. Baylor is a good example of these trends. When school officials met with architects from Populous, they could have asked for anything; they were building from scratch rather than renovating. And what they asked for was a capacity of about 45,000, making McLane Stadium one of the small- est venues in a major con- ference. Yet school officials be- lieve the stadium will pro- duce more revenue than Floyd Casey Stadium, the Bears' aging home a few miles away, because of its myriad of seating options: Pay a bit more to go from bench seating to chair backs, a little more for the club level, a little more yet for loge boxes, and still more for premium suites that feature private en- trances, food and beverage services, flat-screen televi- sions and other perks for the highest level of com- fort. "We have a different seat with a different price point to sell to whatever interest level," said Todd Patulski, Baylor's associate athletic director for finance and administration. "With TVs and other reasons that fans have for staying home, you have to create differences for them. They don't want to sit on a bench and hope they don't get rained on." All of that planning ap- pears to be paying off. Buoyed by its Big 12 ti- tle and the allure of a new stadium, Baylor sold out its season-opener in min- utes. Tickets for the rest of the season have been snapped up at a rate un- seen in years. "They sold all their suites, and then they sold out all their loge boxes. They had 73 of them," Spear said, clearly de- lighted by the response. "And then they call us up and they're like, 'Can we add more?' And we're like, 'No! You didn't charge enough!'"
