Er ... no mate... it wouldn't be fine.
Meis has been saying how Bramley Moore is one of the best sites he had to work with. He also said he wanted to set the standard for football grounds for generations to come.
He's not gonna do that by plonking a box at the end of Peels development costing billions of pounds so long as it looks 'nice' inside. This is the real world. What's the point in hiring a bloke like Meis 'the rule breaker' if he's going to give us a bland box shape. This is going to be seen by the world on this great waterfront. That's not going to be much of an advert for his design skills.
A much maligned, but good and trusted friend of mine, late of this parish, has made this point many times. A box it will not be.
