Well, most impt is that this new stadium is both for the fans and for the players.
Hopefull a smaller stadium with these stalls etc will make the fans feel better when they visit the stadium.
Also since the pitch will be nearer to the stands, it will create a better atmosphere for both fans and players. Honestly, i'd rather see a smaller, packed stadium where you can feel, hear and see the fans rather than a half empty giant of a stadium where the players look like they are a mile away and the voice of the fans seams distant.
Apart from this..... this redevelopment will cost a bomb. And in a world where money is so impt, i'm sure they have well calculated how it will be re-earned.
We should have some faith in the people planning this. the points that all of you have brought up are concers that every fan would think of. I'm sur these things have crossed their mind too.
