NFL/MLB stadium design

[silverfoxcc]

Just watching the Indianapolis/Denver game at Denver and was amazed by th rake of the top teir.
It looked to be over 45 degrees.
does anyone know what it really is and how it compares to other grounds ( i include College Stadium as well)

Upper tier at Ray Jay is insanely steep. When seated, your knees are level with head height of the row in front of you.

Not sure how it compares, but there are some great stadium design in the US. I do love how odd the Colts Lucas Oil Stadium looks.

Top tier of the main stand at Goodison Park is pretty steep...

Ive alway been fascinated by stadium designs, so many great ones around the world!

The Oakland Coliseum is older and the top tier is not so steep. It's a bit knackered and could do with an update. Great atmosphere at Raiders games though, not so good at midweek baseball games!



The top tier at Twickenham is quite steep, as are the top tiers at the 02 Arena and the Albert Hall.

It looks like an old railway station - retractable roof is pretty cool though.

Here's weird - I live in Orlando FL and we have a 65,000 capacity stadium, The Citrus Bowl, that gets used for... well, pretty much fk all really.
I think Monster Trucks are coming next week and our new MLS might play there (in front of an audience, rather than a crowd, I suspect) - other than that it hosts The Florida Classic (black college football - imagine what would happen if we had white college football, eh?) and that's about it. Pretty much a wasted resource really - and bigger than most Premiership stadiums.

The Mestalla (Valencia) is a bit on the steep side:
