    I love this idea because, who doesn't love sofas? True taking your sofa to the stadium sounds painful. How about some portable chairs.
    I love this idea because you could still buy beer at the stadium.
    I love this idea because you can buy seats $10 a sofa seat.
    For regular stadium seating how about $5 a seat.
    I love this idea because you can in theory show 2 or 3 games or even a movie as a nightcap.
    Really the key here is the marked lines. And the angled floor. Making the watch parties ... more "comfortable"

    I like the touch of picture frames on the walls. As you can see the seats (or "sofas") are elevated as it goes up. Just like the movie theater. So this is basically like seeing the game in the movie theater. Except you see it an an open stadium. But in this setting that feels like your living room.

    You can cuddle with a beer, a friend or your anxiety.

    I always have a blanket when I'm watching games at home just in case I need to cover my eyes.

    Most games will probably be aimed for European TV markets. So it should hopefully not be too bad. My guess is it'll be something closer to the 2006 Germany World Cup TV times.

    Which are awful if you're on the east coast and have a job.

    Moscow is 8 hours ahead of New York and 11 hours ahead of LA. Using the same starting times for US games as the 2006 World Cup you're looking at 8am, 10am and 1pm in NYC and 5am, 7am and 10am in LA.
