To say it's irrelevant is mental.

What design changes do you think should be incorporated to improve the atmosphere?

I think you at least need a short course in architecture.

I'm not an architect, but there are plenty in here bemoaning what the atmosphere will be like or how the stadium aesthetically looks like.
I'm just keen to understand what they believe is required to get a stadium that meets their expectations

Not sure how they have worked that out, just seems like they have plucked the numbers out of the sky.

I read the on-line EE article . It only proves how incompetent afc are , when they are now saying they :
"will also put in part-time traffic lights where the road meets the new AWPR junction."
Had they really previously expected all the fans walking from park & ride to be dodging traffic to cross the slip road !!!!!!!

Just had a wee nosey at stadiums in planning/design and came across these of similar capacity:

Slovan Bratislava - 22,500 - £54m
