Whoever designed Parra Stadium and decided that walkways along the entire length at the bottom of each grandstand was a good idea should never design anything again. Atrocious design for everyone sitting in the first 7 or 8 rows. This looks more like it.
The thing that bugs me about most stadiums, is the tunnel entrances into the stands cause obstructed views for those sitting around them as everyone piles in. When I attended the Socceroos v Honduras match at ANZ recently, there was a massive influx of late arrivals - thousands arrived after the game had started due to traffic and train issues.
I had a great view but those sitting around the tunnel entrances were obstructed by streams of people emerging from the tunnels to find their seats and were getting might pissed off. I am not sure what the answer is - but there must be a better way!
The easy answer is that everyone gets there before kick-off.
We all know that's not going to happen though so forget that.
In the picture you quoted, it looks as though the front walkways don't exist in the new stadium so it'll just be the people walking up the stairways to their rows that will be the issue. The lesser of two evils I suppose.
Mate, I don't actually think there is any easy solution to this. There will always be an obstruction of sorts with general human traffic in and out of viewable areas. The best solution I suppose is to have a seat as high and as close to the middle of any bay as possible.
My Wanderers season tickets were in the back row at the old stadium. The above issue was never a problem.
