When they eventually build the bigger stadium, it'll be IMPERATIVE that the fans and supporters sections are kept close to the pitch as possible. An intimate, jam-packed rowdy atmosphere close to the pitch (with safety precautions, of course) is exactly what's needed to create that atmosphere that looks amazing on TV and creates buy-in. I'm working with designers on other sports projects right now who reinforce this objective. It's one of the reasons why the stadiums in Winnipeg, Hamilton and York don't work quite well for the CPL yet.... lots and lots of dead space.
