They're blatantly speakers

 

[Bwian]

I though it was the concourse area that will be lit in the away team's colours?

 

[Everest]

Floodlights are not just to illuminating the pitch for the players.
There also for lighting communal areas so spectators can see there way out after a game.

They wouldn't be needed in the away stand then.
All the fans would've dejectedly left long before the final whistle

But there not on the concourse, they over the terraces (seating area) the concourse is the enclosed space behind the seating areas.

Indeed they are - I had a Google and I would hazard a guess they are these ones...

They certainly look like the fellas.

Enlarged one of my pics slightly.

Now they look like Doddy's Diddy Men's hats

To be fair to him, he may have been replying to this

Cant be floodlights pitch side, as they are facing the wrong way. But I'm sure there was talk of fans (away fans?) being bathed in their team colours? If that wasn't a wind up (and me being years behind everyone else) then maybe thats what they are.

Seems a perfectly sensible question if it was.

 

[EastbourneGull]

Still look like lights to me

My bad, Apologies to Bwian.

There you go.
We have speakers that look like lights.
Maybe we'll have a team that looks like world beaters.

It will be left open as it will for the west stand, it to allow an air flow through the stadium to help keep the most important part, the pitch, in tip top condition.

We were told before the stadium was that it would incorporate a lot of the best design features of all previous stadiums already built, and one thing stood out was the condition of the playing surface relevant to the design of the stadium. the “bowl type” designs lacks air flow at pitch level with was detriment to the pitch quality.

With the bowl design, Air only get to the pitch through the hole in the top with is not ideal for keep the pitch in good condition.

With the open ends at the top of each stand, the flow of air across the stadia actually passes through the stadium. Which helps the grass.

Correct.
They have done this at the Emirates. The wind whistles through that one like a BASTARD - I was there in February a couple of years ago sitting quite high up, absolutely freezing my NUTS off.

Whilst this design might work well at Stadio Olimpico (sic) in Rome, it would be unpleasant on a cold night on the Downs. I'm hoping there is an openable and closeable vent system such that they can be closed for a couple of hours a fortnight.

Are you serious ?
After 12 years of roughing it in the wind and rain at our current shitpit, a breeze whistling through under the roofs at the Amex will feel like the soft, caressing, attentive kisses of a high-class crack whore on double time.

Closing vents to keep the wind off the fans. I'ev heard it all now.

Would you like a heated BLANKET as well? And maybe some EAR MUFFS?

I once saw a picture at St James Park of metal covers that are used to prevent fog entering the concourse by the vomitories.
