Video of the view from the back row of the stadium shot by the BBC's James Pearce. The upper tier is much steeper than I thought looking at this film:

Not steep enough to appreciate the intricate patterns that the Ceremonies choreographers might have in store.

IMHO, it doesn't look as steep as the upper tier at The O2
When I went to a concert at The O2, one of the staff looked at my ticket and said "parachutes at the ready!"

Don't steep stands actually fit into the concept of the stadium "As close to the action as possible"? You would feel very far away again if those stands were less steeply angled.

The upper level of seating at the Royal Albert hall is almost vertical (very vertigo educing)This park is gonna be amazing look at the landscaping at the bottom of this picture from the Evening Standard, it makes me wanna cry with joy.
I’m sure those with vertigo will manage the Olympic stadium.
