that's logic. and the screen would be hanging in the middle of the stadiumas in shalke stadium...just like this..

and that could add up to 10,000 seats i assume which would be great and wouldn't affect the transportation issue that much.. and would also solve some fans problems in big games..

Isnt the design the way it is to let maximum sunlight and wind into the ground to help keep the pitch in such wonderful condition.

The corners of the stadium were left like that to keep air flowing into the stadium from different angles. Apparently helps the grass grow or something. I dont see how a stadium expansion would work at the emirates, the work around the stadium would surely be to much hassel to play games at the same time as the development.
