Great pic of the Olympics, thanks.
The dimensions of the MLS field are 70 - 80 yards wide by 100 to 110 yards long depending on stadium size.
CFL will shrink field to 65 x 130 yards by 2027. Length 100 yards plus two 15 yard wide end zones.
Unfortunately that still leaves Olympic Stadium with not so great sightlines cause the Stadium's footprint follows the original 400 meter oval track so seating is set back.
One solution may be to do what the L.A. Memorial Coliseum did and dig out the field and set it lower to bring seating closer in.
That Stadium suffers from the same problem, a stadium built for the Olympics. The Olympic oval track set back the seats particularily in the end zones. The end zones are a huge distance far back.
The L.A. Coliseum dug out the field and rebuilt it 11 feet lower then building 14 rows of additional seats further in closer to the field.
I don't know if this can be done with Olympic Stadium, that's a lot of concrete to hammar out and I believe there are facilities underneath the stadium.
I've been to a game at the Rose Bowl, the seats are closer to sidelines as there was never an oval track.
