Odd details
Small things that make this venue different
These are the details that stop the film becoming a generic stadium clip.
Artificial turf changes the scene
This is a different surface logic from old grass stadiums: cleaner, brighter and more controlled.
The roof is part of the atmosphere
Crowd sound, light and sightlines behave differently in an enclosed dome.
Multipurpose polish
The venue should not look like a battered local field; the late-1990s clue is controlled presentation.
