Sports Direct Arena - Lop Sided?

Watching the Newcastle v Norwich match on tv, I cant make out if its the stand or pitch thats on a slant. Or neither.

Is it just me? I dont really give one, but having a debate with a mate and neither of us can call it.

Depends on how many you have had.

Slant? 2 of the stands are double the height of the other 2. Not sure about a slant though...

The pitch slopes, the East Stand (that you see on TV) is level.

It does slope. You can tell by the advertising hoardings. Not the LED ones, but the static ones behind. It goes downhill from left to right as you look at it on TV.

The pitch that is! Not the stand!

Quality stadium though... shame they can't make all the stands the same size, would be awesome. But being in the city centre I don't believe they can extend the smaller stands.
