It is large now that I think about it! He's not crazy! Possibly it is to allow more players to sit there, maybe they are expecting a large amount of players this year?
Yes, the home dugout is roughly double in size and that additional seating you see in one half (seating for 40 people) is a suite for spectators similar to the regular suites on the suite level of the building behind the field. So half of the dugout is for the team and the other half of the dugout is this front row suite
