I still say, however, that the field alignment should have been down the first base line and not the third base line. This would have allowed for total use of all the upper deck seats, and they wouldn't have been far away from the field like the current right field is now.

The stands at the Ted were symmetrical, so I'm confused at what the difference would be? I believe they chose the N-S orientation so that the facilities in left field could be repurposed.

Yes, but there are more upper deck seats along 1st base line than 3rd base. It looks weird with a half of an upper deck on the 3rd base line. Whereas on the first base line they would have went entirely down sideline and around into the endzone, making all of the upper decks usable. As it is now, the right field upperdecks are probably too far away from the action to be sold as normal seating. I get that they wanted to use the left field club level, but the best use of the actual seating would have been to make the field down the first base line. ALL upperdecks would have been able to be used. Think about it. Rotate the field in your head.

There is no scenario where you would have a complete upper deck. The stadium didn't have one even at 85k seats for to the Olympics. I like the north/south alignment. I also like how it's shaping up. The only weird part is RF and I still say give it time. Hopefully phase two fixes that. Even so it's an overhead helicopter shot problem. When seen from within the stadium it all looks spectacular.

I also do not think the RF upper deck is as far away as you think. Probably no further away than the upper deck in some stadiums like BDS up the street. You probably would have similar views from the upper corner of their end zone. Remember that this was originally an 85k seat soccer/football stadium with a track and a north/south orientation. We are restoring at least it in part what was already there. The great part is that Heery designed this stadium and built it and they are on this job as well.
