Hmmm they'd really like more space up there, so probably. And also you should be concerned about the subject - verb agreement in your sticker.

"Were" is subjunctive in that sentence, not plural.

Could you elaborate what you mean by that? Should it be “was flat”?

It's subjunctive, so "were" is technically correct. But it's super duper common for people to use "was" instead.
