Curiously it would face east-west not the traditional north-south configuration, which wouldn't be a problem during the night but would make playing games on sunny days difficult with the sun pretty much in one team's eyes a whole half.

Also, although the plan shows a covered venue as the video makes clear, that's by no means certain.
