Inside, the experience is all about proximity and sound: steep stands deliver strong sightlines, while the enclosed layout helps chants build and carry. Visitors also appreciate the practical comforts—easy-to-navigate concourses, solid food and drink options, and seating/standing areas that keep the focus on the action.
