What's your view on the architectural merits of roof-mounted anti-seagull lasers? (asking for a friend)

I do hope those aren't the anti kopite lasers.Maybe that's what the gaps in the barrel cladding are for?

Wouldn't wanna be wasting valuable shots on seagulls as a jet full of gobshites flies in from Oslo

How's the internal fitting going muckers?
Ok mate, it’s on schedule.
I’ve been fitting the flooring to the kitchens in the West stand.
I thought that myself about the fans dipping away for the middle section of Spurs south stand.
It seem so obvious but Populous have designed it that way even though they say Daniel Levy was “obsessed” with making sure it had a great atmosphere.
All looking good then mate and still a good buzz inside the place with all the folk working away?

The video the club has released is brilliant. I’m welling up. Don’t let us christen it in the second division

Populous said the same about Wembley. Yet, even with a running track the old Wembley was generally far better for creating a football atmosphere than the current one.
That said, they got it right with the Principality Stadium.
We missed a trick here.

As you know the stadium on its own does not make any noise. Sure it can enhance but if the crowd is 6/10 it's never going suddenly jump to a 9 due to stadium technology - perhaps you gain a .5 at best. The supporters that went to Wembley back in the day were raucous and really enjoyed their day out, modern football fans just aren't the same. Those fans have been on the whole priced out and the prawn sandwich brigade have taken their places.
We have to also remember there is only 30k for each club now for FA cup finals, we'll never know what new Wembley could be if we could time machine the fans of the 86 final into it. 100k plus whoever else sneaked in which I'd imagine would have been plenty. Possibly you'll lose some noise from not being under that roof and having no tiers so everyone can see everyone else. However you would probably gain it back and more from the proximity to the pitch. There are stadiums that are better than others, more to the point there are fans better than others and that defines how good a stadium is.
Obviously there are complete outliers to the above, the millennium stadium
with a full roof is kind of a cheat code and at the other end a stadium like the London stadium is hardly conducive to helping the atmosphere. That can still even make a din but most of the times the fans are like meh.
A wet mattress would be more apt for us
