I remember hearing on the Toronto news that some of the bolts had to be tightened because they were coming loose. Didn't sound like a major problem. I have been in Camden Yards in Baltimore for a baseball game and the section that I was in was steel.
It would make sense to me to have a sunken bowl made of concrete so that it will be a retaining wall for the dirt/gravel of the sunken bowl and then have a second tier above ground of steel framing.
