Ta da!
Always been my favourite team that Shrewsbury. I'm gonna be watching any playoffs with interest
That rail looks way higher than 900mm off floor level to my eyes. I'd say 1400-1500mm .The rail system that the seats are attached to is not the same as the ordinary seats either. The 2nd seating rail is on floor mounts, for strength I would imagine.Just posting both pics for easy comparison.
It's just earmarked as the area that will be safestanding.
Don't think that's true re the rails being installed now (though could be wrong)
JTS, just think they mention the rail height as if the area gets used for safe standing in the future the rails will be too high for kids - so a warning not to buy there now if you won't be happy to stay once it's introduced.

I think it seating mode that rail is pretty close to being right at eye level.
Actually you are right. I had a brain fart and was incorrectly looking at the height from the step the rail is fixed to to the top of the rail, and of course it is the step behind that matters. Each step of terracing looks about 400mm in height I would say so 1000mm from the stp behind to the top of the rail is probably close.The rail is no more than 1000 mm above floor level. at 1500 mm you are at chest height for a normally tall man. That is way below that.
However, you are probably right when it comes to the rail, either the horizontal bar or the supporting verticals, impeding sight lines.
Stole this off of user "Pellsheck" on Skyscrapercity:
A few images of the Wanda Metripolitano at the same stage last year (late March/early April 2017):

> Incomplete roof
> No seats fitted yet
> Pitch area still a mud patch
> Interiors still a building site
> Exterior render not complete
> Public access, roads & paved areas outside still a mess
> Far, far fewer workers on site, and not 24/7 iirc
> Etc.
The stadium was ready for kick-off ~5 months later.
Of course, it's not a perfect apples & apples comparison, but it's presumably not an unreasonable ballpark comparison.

I'm still of the opinion that the photos above of the supposed safe standing seats at NWHL are not actually safe standing seats. The whole purpose of safe standing seats is to prevent people from being able to push forward from their allocated row. Those NWHL seats clearly do not prevent that, too much open space.
They are logically mobility impaired seats - the rail above is to assist people getting in an out of the seats. Not everybody who is disabled needs a wheelchair. We would also be the laughing stock of the football world if we tried to implement safe standing with a setup that didn't prevent crushing forward.
Well, at least there will be plenty of leg room. It was so cramped at WHL.
Erm, the rail looks pretty spot on, height wise to me.
Do you mean it would be too easy for people to go around either side of the rail? because they'd fit the rail all the way along a row.
That being said, these could just be prototypes and we could end up with something completely different.
Another thing that doesn't look right to me is the difference in height of the rails between rows. Imagine that same gradient going down for 20 rows in front of you and have obstructed views.
Anyway, we'll find out eventually one way or another.
