UPPER FLOOR PLANS

The plan at +6700mm, the lower concourse, is accessible via the network of staircases or elevators from the front plaza, then security check, and then finally the stadium stands. On the rear side, this is accessible from this bridge. This level has additional facilities of small retail shops and food stalls and two major restaurants to accommodate the public influx.

The +12500mm level is purely dedicated to the private boxes, which could be booked well in advance and could accommodate around 20-25 people per box. The series of cores on the North and Southside, are exclusively for the movement of people accessing these private boxes so that the circulation patterns don’t merge with the general public movement.

These private boxes would help in generating high revenue from the stadium’s point of view, and offer the best views of the stadium, based on the sightline calculations. These would be completely Air-conditioned spaces, with premium facilities.

The upper concourse level connects the entire site- the front, the stadium, and the rear side. The topmost tier of seating begins above this level. According to seat number spectators could directly access this level and could then easily access their seats. This would even help in managing the high occupant load.

Zoning was further detailed out on the basis of specific functions and their requirements. Like in the stadiums, each alternate floor acted as a concourse level, so as to manage the high occupant load, and make circulation patterns more resolved.
