There have been a lot of folks on here saying that the pitch won`t fit, but what if it went the other way, they find out that they have so much room for the pitch that they could have added 10 more rows around the perimeter, taking the capacity beyond 62k, and still got the pitch in easily

Joking aside, I am sure that is what Barcelona did about 20 odd years ago. They lowered the pitch and put more rows in around the touchline.

Didn't they also have a moat between the pitch and stands at one point?

I'm surprised that Arsenal haven't done that yet with the Emirates Stadium, the gap between the first row and the seats and the touchline is huge. Even accounting for the 5m gap rule between seats and touchline they have plenty of excess space.

Wonder what angle that lower tier is at? Looks horribly shallow. Reminds me of the London Stadium.

It was in the early 90`s they did that, but they were focused on getting as many people into the ground by way of several add ons to the ground, they were left with having no option but to knock it down and rebuild at huge cost. I never got to see the ground in the flesh but heard that it was a bit of a let down compared to other great stadiums. San Siro in Milan was the same, looks amazing but the facilities were terrible and there are plans to start from scratch with a new modern ground.

In this diagram of the current compared to a proposed it goes from around 10° (current/old) to 25° (proposed/new)

Yeah especially when compared to BMD South Stand, which I think is the middle option (32°) shown here

been in the lower tier away end and thought it was a really bad game day experience.
Love what they did with Highbury tho.

The lower is banana shaped going from low 30s at the front to mid 30s at the back. The upper is 35 degrees.
