Yorkie Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've heard that it's the centre circle but I'm not prepared to lock horns with Midds over a mathematical quandary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 UEFA (FIFA?) regs state the max distances allowed for football viewing from one corner flag to the opposite end of the stadium is 190m. Here's how that looks for the olympic stadium, and why the seats in black (blue on this pic) are not in use http://img.prntscr.com/img?url=http://i.imgur.com/YFPu5J2.png I actually think when West Ham increased the capacity to 60,000, they just put those seats into use and are selling them for cheaper (I may be wrong).

Ketsbaia Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/06/01/could-suprastadio-put-chelsea-liverpool-and-tottenham-to-shame-w/ Now, a revolutionary new stadium design is promising to solve both the space and sightline issues for football clubs – or anyone looking to redevelop or build spectator seating areas. Suprastadio claims to have done this by turning the concept of a traditional grandstand on its head, folding it back in on itself as its number of tiers increase. The wave-like design is the brainchild of the German-based Interpol Studios, a multi-disciplinary agency which includes an architecture division. Those behind Suprastadio boast that its grandstands take up one third less ground space than those of a conventional stadium and, just as importantly, they allow many more spectators a closer view of the action. In a 55,000-seater arena, Suprastadio’s inventors estimate 97 per cent of ticket-holders would be less than 50 metres from the pitch, compared with less than two-thirds in a traditional ground. They also claim the design helps trap sound and amplifies the atmosphere generated by those present and that its smaller volume makes it cheaper to run. They insist it is no more expensive to construct than a conventional stadium and can be either built as an enclosed arena or as individual grandstands alongside traditional single-tier Kop-style stands. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/football/2016/06/01/99571244-Suprastadio-sport-large_trans++uPWyIgZxRyxNFWH7juMhtDA9q61DsH-F81jLq6vg5wE.png http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/football/2016/06/01/99572267-Suprastadio-sport-large_trans++K8oq_TXSPAJ0t21oESloXR5RvoMQaoimiCpCpFijC9k.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're trying to make it more imposing/intimidating by keeping it dark. Kinda like Old Trafford I suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
