ABSTRACT
Circulation planning in stadium design has two main objects: the comfort and the safety of occupants.
Comfort People should be able to find their way to their seats (or to toilets or catering facilities, or back to the exits) easily, without getting lost or confused. In addition, they should be able to move about with pleasure, not being jostled in overcrowded spaces, having to climb excessively steep stairs, or risk losing their footing as they negotiate the many changes of level which are inevitable in large stadia.
