If you go to large stadiums (I've been to a few, the most recent being Uconn's Rentschler Field) you realize that the seating tends to be more spread out but less gradient between the rows of seats. If you expand more than 25k, then the 3rd tier will be to high above the playing field. I think its preferable to be more spread out instead of being higher above ground. But I'm not architect or engineer, I'm sure they can make it work. I'm just basing my opinion out of what I've seen...I'm no expert, but I think stronger inclines are typical preferred. Stadiums like Michigans that are build out rather than up dont have great sight lines and don't keep the sound in as well their taller counterparts.
