Circulation
The stands have to be punctured with areas for vertical circulation (at appropriate distances). Accompaning this, a room has to be provided for enough horizontal circulation as the load on all the tiers would be massive.

Built- Unbuilt Relationship
The volume of the skin around the stadium has to be reduced in order to allow more light and ventilation through it. Sunlight Hours Analysis and Sciography
Observations
1. Immediate Areas surrounding the stadium remain pretty much shaded due to strong shadows casted by the stadium.
2. The roof form and the form of stadium offers substantial shade to spectators for majority sunlight hours.
3. Majority part of the ground receives sunlight for around 8 hours for 75% of the year, and receives sunlight for around 6 hours for remaining 25% of the year. This might pose some challenging conditions for players while matches are scheduled during summers.
4. Massing and concourses around the stadium could add to form of the stadium and could even provide shade to spectators while accessing their seats. This would even make the site more rich and diverse in function and more active throughout the year. Sunlight Hours Analysis (Summer Solstice) Sunlight Hours Analysis (Spring Equinox)
