Never thought we would be worried that the stands were too close

Because the whole point of it is for drainage, and it's been quite wet recently?

To be fair, the explanation on that video says literally ‘once the sections are in place, the touchline rises up to pitch level’. Not rises up to slightly below, or provides a slope, but rises up to pitch level.
With that in mind, I’d hope it’s all fine and am a lot more content than I was earlier this afternoon. But with that said, it is slightly weird they didn’t raise the whole thing for the test day given the whole point was to show it off.

It's a bloody death trap!
Those second two pics there...nothing to worry about!
Although funny to see a lot of people saying it wasn’t a big issue, those slopes would be fine etc

Honestly, this place is hilarious sometimes!
“When the players slide the studs will dig in and they’ll push apart the pitch segments”
“The reason for the delay is actually because the away teams coach entrance isn’t big enough”
In response to the ITK that the contractor that done the wiring rushed it and didn’t know what they’re doing: “I worry that the build quality of the stadium isn’t good enough and we’re going to have structural problems later down the line”
“The small wall dividing the south stand with the east and west means some seats can’t see the pitch”
“The pitch run off is too small, it’s impossible to take corners on it”
What’s even funnier is that people actually convince themselves that they’re right and extrapolate the situation to surmise that Poch is not going to be happy about it, for example!

Is not the commenting, that’s Obviously completely fine, it’s the authority that some people speak with that each of these things really is a problem.

To be honest I thought it was funnier that people were saying ‘it will be fine, other stadiums have no space to take corners’ than it was funny people were querying it.
No one who queried it spoke with any authority and in fact layered the assumption in that there was something we were missing. At least I wasn’t speaking with any authority - I couldn’t believe how ridiculous the whole thing would be.

Can't understand why anyone would question anything on this stadium..it's not like anything hasn't gone to plan so far is it?

I guess a lot of people (myself included) more or less thought to themselves "it would simply be too amateurish if there wouldn't be enough space to take corners", and looked to bridge the gap between the perceived lack of space in the photos we've seen with any rational explanation that would make sense - be it optical illusions stemming from those photos or a missing piece of the puzzle (like the video you posted showed). Did anyone claim to speak with authority on the matter? I just read a lot of suggestions for what might be the case, as it would simply defy belief that the designers of something so magnificent would miss an essential detail like that.
