MixedScreen & stadium scale
The enormous video board and building scale are central to the spectacle. From distant seats, however, the screen can command more attention than the field.
03
NegativeStanding-room tradeoffs
Standing-room admission can provide a lower-cost way inside, but field views are first-come and vulnerable to crowding. It should not be presented as equivalent to a reserved seat.
