That is why WV works well because it has a decent buffer to residential.

I agree the residents would lose their minds and it would never happen, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are many football grounds in Europe with greater than 40,000 seating capacity which have residential on three or more sides. Works just fine. In fact walking through ordinary streets to the stadium adds to the atmosphere, as opposed to giant parking lots.
