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

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).

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.

Regarding the Anfield expansion, not enough natural light let in. Love how ours brings that in

 

They closed off the back on purpose. I think they're trying to make it more imposing/intimidating by keeping it dark. Kinda like Old Trafford I suppose

Saw that Atletico have got a new stadium. Didn't know they were moving out of the current one. Shame really. Like the Calderon very much.

 

They've still got next season in the calderon at least
