Killjoy.
Yeah........ Sorry.....
Killjoy.
I'd love to see what the view was like from those top tiers.
Bloody Nora, I'd be terrified. Goodison is steep enough in places...
For the top tier, you don't actually get seats, you're strapped in then the floor retracts and you're suspended above the pitch, like that Air ride at Alton Towers.For no more than about 20 mins. Your neck would be killing as you'd be looking straight down. That's why a parabolic structure is preferred, and is the optimum design when passed through the majority of software.
I'm only joking...How ya gonna drop bottles of pisx on the away fans if they're underneath and inverted from the tier above....
I'm only joking...

has to be on the scale of those 6 tier pics though.
was looking today at the stadium in sydney where origin was being played (arl Olympic 1) theyre redeveloping it to make the inside rectangular & it's gonna have different modes dependant on who's playing, theyre having those light boards in the top deck so that when only using downstairs for club games they can be used 'to effect'

NRL clubs such as the Bulldogs, Rabbitohs, Tigers, Dragons and Eels will offer their Members exclusive access to these unique new terraces at home games. Ditto fans of the NSW Blues, Australian Wallabies, Socceroos, Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC when they are playing at the major Stadium.

I suppose it would be classed as a rugby stadium as more of those games there, but then so would the Millennium & Aviva.
Are you suggesting that somewhere like Twickenham wouldn't be a fantastic venue to watch footy ?
Where NZ play in Wellington is a Rugby Stadium, Sarf Arf in fact held a World Cup Final in a Rugby Stadium.
Your point is invalid .... and not for the first time.
I thought the same when I saw the design. Looks like the higher stands over hang each other a lot. Even if you can see the entire pitch...it's a makes for a poor atmosphere/viewing experience when you can't see the rest of the stadium.
Sorry, have also posted this in the new stadium in months thread.
This whole thing strikes me as an Architectural student project. After looking at this a little closer with a learned colleague, there's loads wrong with it and it just wouldn't work, or pass planning/safety certificates. For a small example, the highest recommended rake on a tier is 37.5°. The ones at the top there seem to be more like 60°. Also, recommendations state that there should be equal square meterage for the concourse as there is for the seating is serves so as to maintain the density at full capacity, not allowing for concourse refreshment stalls etc. It looks to me on that image that no concourse at all has been allowed for the upper tiers, so you'd have to go downstairs to what will be a HUGE ground floor concourse. Outside of all this, you have to also consider the view. That upper tier will be akin to looking out of a 12 story window of an office block. The people with a window seat would be able to see the pitch, maybe not the 1st meter of it, but certainly most of it, however the person behind them would see all but about the first 5m, then the person behind that all but the first 12, you can see where I'm going with this.
This stadium idea is a non-starter.
How can it be invalid when you felt the need to write an essay to defend the point?
It IS a rugby stadium
