Apologies if this has been answered before
Can someone explain how the extra rows of seating pitchside will work? I'd seen minor references to this before and then again a couple of pages back in this thread
How many rows and how will they deal with banking ? The commonwealth conversion was a great idea, building downwards, with banked seats, which in turn meant there was a smaller surface area for the new football pitch than the previous athletics track, so the seats could be close to the pitch. That involved the pitch dropping from ground level to well below ground
But for the new rows if they do that, they would have to lower the height of the pitch again and for I'm guessing just 2/3/4 rows of seats, it can't be worth it. The only other solution is to not bank these extra seats which also doesn't work
I'm sure someone on here must know ? I'm assuming I'm just missing something blindingly obvious.....
From the planning app - three new rows simply stuck on the front of existing front row

And those three new rows just go lower than the previous front rows - no change in slope/profile of existing rows
