Wikipedia Updates - Maestri Field; What is the current capacity

I am working on updating and verifying Wikipedia information for the Southland Conference as well as other conferences.

Just a quick question. What is the capacity of Maestri Field following the recent renovation? There are some references which show 4,000 or 4,200 while others are showing 800. I think the 800 comes from comments about 800 chairback seats in the stadium. The question is was other seating removed during the reno?

Once we have settled on a capacity, the next step would be to locate a verifiable and accepted source. Usually, I can go to "Quick Facts" or media books, but I haven't been able to find a link for those on the UNO Athletics website.

Here's where the 800 comes into play. I just wanted to make sure that the seating which is not chairback was removed. For example, our baseball stadium has 700 chairback seats, but also has 2,800 bleacher seats.

Wishing y'all success except when you play us. :D

Hmm..did a quick search myself and can't find any official reference. The 800 is absolutely only the chairbacks surrounding home plate. There are still thousands of seats in bleachers down both lines. The seating above both dugouts has been removed, though. So, while not official, my estimate would be capacity is around 3500 right now. If I find any official mention of it for reference I'll post it.
