GBModerator Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 45,000 capacity. The athletes are sitting on the FOP There are chairs on the field-of-play. Baseball capacity is usually just over 50,000 but the stage configuration block out most of the "outfield seats". NVM do what Lord David said! Journalists working at the venue That's me on bottom-left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinXTC Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Wow that was just a bad acid trip! I didn't mind the track, even though it sounded like a mess, but to try and combine it with all of those traditional dances was nothing short of a train wreck. And they really should have started off with introducing the athletes first, at least someone would have gotten a good view of that performance.

mattygs Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I really do like the videos produced for the screens, but it seems a tad disjointed thus far. I feel like we are lacking a bit of context in terms of where we are. Are we in a stadium, or is it a shed, or a theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we are lacking a bit of context in terms of where we are. Are we in a stadium, or is it a shed, or a theatre. Very true if this was a theater the screens would have made foe better use, but the distance from the stage to the paying audience looks far too distant. Why not use the whole side instead of just those screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
