Here is the remodeled L.A. Coliseum.
In 1992 the field was dug out and dropped 11 feet to allow 14 rows of additional seating near field bringing seats closer to sidelines.
Could this be an option for Olympic Stadium ? Cause even with a new roof the sightlines remain poor.

in this aeriel shot you can see the addition of the rows of seats at bottom due to lowering of the field.
also note the teams are on opposite sidelines and the goal posts are on the end (dead) lines instead of goal lines.
Improvements coming to the CFL over next two years.
I say improvements cause it is Ridiculous to have a goal post right on the goal line. The end zone is part of the field. Who's dumb idea was it to place goal posts in middle of the field ?
However there is a wrinkle for the L.A. Coliseum.
As part of the plans to host the 2028 Summer Olympics, the L.A. Coliseum field will have to be raised 11 feet higher back into its pre 1993 position to allow for reinstallation of the 400 meter track !
Yikes ! up and down.
