About

Clear Stadium Review examines the design and experience of stadiums: the buildings, routes and shared spaces that shape a visit to watch sport. It is for curious readers who want to understand how a ground works as a place, whether they are regular spectators or simply interested in architecture and public experience.

What we look at

Coverage ranges from stand form and seating layouts to entrances, circulation, signage, atmosphere and the relationship between a venue and its surroundings. Each subject is approached as a set of choices with consequences for how the place is used and perceived.

How we explain it

We start by defining the feature or design idea, then explain why it matters to a spectator. Comparisons and historical context help make the subject legible without assuming specialist knowledge. Clear Stadium Review is an editorial publication, not an authority on venue access, current operations or local requirements; readers should confirm those details with the relevant venue when they matter to a visit.
