The idea of a second platform is simple but the execution of this can be complicated. ( Egress from the concert etc.)
in addition to that, i think additional concerns included was having the platform beneath the away support, the length of the access ramp required and alterations to existing welfare facilities to cater for disabled access

however, it wasnt impossible!
