A CONCERT-HALL INSPIRED ACOUSTIC SET-UP, WHICH AMPLIFIES THE NOISE INSIDE THE STADIUM, WILL ADD TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND SPECTATOR EXPERIENCE. The areas at the front of the stand, as well as the away support’s section, have been future-proofed for safe standing, with a first- of-its-kind design that gives equal precedence to safety and comfort. The rows of seating are separated by an ergonomically profiled bar set at 900mm for clear sight lines. Each of the seats, which provide the same levels of comfort and legroom as in all other areas of the stadium, is fitted with a lock to ensure it can be securely fixed in the upright position. A concert-hall inspired acoustic set-up, which amplifies the noise inside the stadium, will add to the atmosphere and spectator experience. Wireless connectivity is available across the venue and will enable fans inside the stadium to connect with and share their live event experiences with other fans across the globe. The stadium’s sculpted appearance has become clear; wrapping and folding its way around the stadium before reaching the home end, where a glass façade arches upwards to reveal the huge single-tier homestand, and a curved roof, which melds together with the stadium structure to create a graceful and elegant clean cover over the seating bowl.
