Is the steapness something to be concerned over? Or is it where the camera's will be sitting to watch on TV that people are worried about?
Steepness makes for a better view.

On a slight slope, you can have your view blocked if you end up sat behind a giant, but that's less likely to happen on a steeper slope.

Also, you can get the great fun of an avalanche effect when a goal goes in and the the celebrations get out of hand and people start falling down the stand. :D

That's the best bit, can't imagine it being much fun in the tribuna with kids though :D

Ah, never thought of it that way I guess.

How is it compared to Camp Nou, though?
Camp Nou is an example of how stadiums should be, it is the ultimate stadium in terms of architecture, structure, ambience and acoustics. The Camp Nou should be the definition of stadium, nothing can be compared to it because it is more than a stadium.

As for acoustics, think Dortmund's stadium, that's a steep stadium and somehow closed. The Rose Bowl is not acoustic.

Tynecastle's the best for an avalanche in Scotland.

I was sat in the front row for a game in which Aberdeen scored a late equaliser (to almost guarantee a European spot) and there were bodies coming flying over my head. :D

The worst one I remember was at Old Trafford watching Coventry in the Carling Cup, there were 11,500 Cov fans in the one top tier stand and when the second goal went in dozens of people were going down the stairs and I was one of many who went over a few seats, it's pretty steep up on their stands. A bit stupid really, considering there were old people, kids and children in there.

It's all in good fun.

I ended up upside-down in the middle of this:


Scottish Cup QF replay and one of the best travelling supports I've been part of.
