It's not nonsense at all and i've previously raised issue with this.Those removed seats were in place in the drawings. Their support brackets were there during construction. They're not there now. I mentioned at the time that I had never seen a swept back angle at a corner for such a difference in rake of adjacent sections, and that it looked like it could create some impaired views, for all the obvious reasons, and probably the same reason why the initial Meis design had a parallel wall. I've sightline surveyed/modelled dozens of stands, but even if I hadn't, it's nonsense to suggest that I (or anyone else) needs to be part of the decision process to mention what I think was a design flaw. Just as is the case with those areas at the visitors section.
BDP Pattern are Global Stadium Design specialist architectural consultancy. They have a portfolio of high-profile sports and entertainment projects.
If you've worked in a consultancy environment then you will know there is a decision process behind everything. There has been a clear decision made here to angle the walls like they have done. A decision process that YOU were not involved with. One that Dan Meis himself will have been involved with.
I couldn't care less if you've 'sight line surveyed' dozens of stands. You are welcome to an opinion but you can't criticise a process/ decision you weren't involved in.
Why don't you list out all the stadiums you have personally been design lead on/ helped deliver.
