Should I keep it at that or raise it? If I don't what will be the downside?

I guess that would depend on what era you're attempting to simulate, and how accurately you want the attendance figures to reflect that era.
If you're simming the year 1900, for example, 45,000 stadia are assuredly inaccurate. Most ballparks of that era seated only a few thousand.
However, if you not really looking for accuracy, there are advantages in keeping the seating capacities as-is, or even increasing them. More seats = higher attendance, which means more revenue to work with, & all the good things that come with that, etc.
So I guess the short answer (which I didn't provide
) is that there isn't a downside to having larger ballparks. After all, OOTP doesn't require that we pay for stadium maintenance, so having a larger stadium will cost you as much as having a smaller one will....nothing!
