Meh...

My vision is a little more like the US National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows (Queens) NY - home of the US Open.

A primary stadium with ####'s of seats around one table then a seconday stadium with ####'s seats a around, again, one table :thumbup:

Then area of 10+ tables with minimal seating - to watch the qualifiers...

I have never been a fan of "highlight-reel" (multiple table) style pool spectating. No intimacy.

No drama and no fun when you are not following a mano-a-mano battle (except team sports of course).
