Hi all I see that the Manchester stadium got the UK RIBA/CAE inclusive design award http://www.architecture.com/go/Architecture/Also/Awards_4028.html I wonder whether this was for when it was at the commonwealth stadium, or when it got converted to a football stadium? I had heard that the level of the pitch was adjusted in the change process to allow more/less spectators and I am intrigued as to how the ensured that it was good in both instances especially sightlines etc. As you may have gathered although I live in Manchester I am not a sports fan so have never been to see it, perhaps I should!
