In general these modern bowl style stadiums are very poor for atmosphere retention they often all seems dead echoey and a jumble of noise as it takes a long time for songs to travel around the huge bowls. Whereas the older stadiums are more compact and seem to trap the sound in better.
However, the design of SSL3 has squared off that end instead of it being a bowl, and the rest of the ground in the other three stands can hear SSL3 loud and clear because of that roof.
It’s a great design in terms of atmosphere (whether that was by design or by coïncidence, I don’t know) and I hope we get it right up the other end and group everyone together from the separate areas that sing and individuals that sing in quiet areas, all in the new NSL2, and the sound bounces out as one voice over there.
The new North Stand does also look like it’s going to box off that end and with the shape of the roof and the steeper walls at either side of NSL2, it should project the atmosphere really well.

Can’t wait to move there!
I honestly think if we get all our singers together in NSL2, we’ll have the best atmosphere in the league.
