据詹姆斯·宾宁(大会)说，“该项目的中心宗旨是扩大参与，吸引新的观众到剧院。他们的目标是创造一个戏剧性的新类型的戏剧空间-借鉴建筑，人群活力和比赛日的足球文化仪式。利用英国足球场的美学和建筑语言，礼堂创造了一种介于剧院和足球之间的景观。“

According to James Binning (Assemble), "a central tenet of the project was to widen participation and attract new audiences to the theatre. The ambition was to create a dramatic new typology of theatre space – drawing on the architecture, crowd dynamic and match day ritual of football culture. Utilising the aesthetic and architectural language of Britain’s football stadia the auditorium creates a spectacle that occupies an area between theatre and football."

对帕洛马·斯特雷利茨(组装)来说，“‘运动场’是为了在市中心举办野心勃勃、喧闹的合奏演出。没有凸起的舞台，这意味着白天大的舞台门可以打开，前排的礼堂可以成为广场日常生活的背景。这样做的目的是为观看演出的人和过路人创造一种戏剧体验。“

For Paloma Strelitz (Assemble), "the 'Playing Field’ is intended as a setting for ambitious and rambunctious ensemble performances in the centre of the city. There’s no raised stage, which means in the day the large stage doors, can open and the raked auditorium can form the backdrop to the daily life of the square. The idea is to create a theatrical experience both for those watching productions and for passers-by."

结构车间的PeteLaidler解释说：“结构策略是创建一个木梁和柱子模块，可以在剧院周边重复使用完全的计划和立面支撑。该模块适应于转弯和跨越目标开口，而不明显地改变建筑节奏。由于施工预算紧张，框架必须易于安装，使用单一的蜘蛛起重机，并优先考虑简单的细节，最小的固定装置，可以容纳施工公差。“

Pete Laidler, of the Structure Workshop, explains that "the structural strategy was to create a timber beam and post module that could be repeated around the perimeter of the theatre with full plan and elevation bracing. This module was adapted to turn the corners and span the goal openings without visibly altering the architectural rhythm. Owing to a tight construction budget the frame had to be easy to erect using a single spider crane and priority was given to simple details with minimum fixings that could accommodate construction tolerances."

“钢支撑的设计跨越两个海湾，并允许结构在横向荷载作用下作为一个刚性的盒子。”地面固定在城市广场是不允许的，刚性箱体法允许轻量级框架在强风中充当重力结构。再加上支撑中央照明桁架的悬挂桅杆，为舞台增添了“高科技”的美感，让人联想到全面的体育场设计，并与文化计划保持一致。

"The steel bracing is designed to span two bays and allows the structure to act as a rigid box under lateral loads. Ground fixing was not permissible in the city square and the rigid box approach allows the lightweight frame to act as a gravity structure in high winds. Coupled with the suspension masts that support a central lighting truss the bracing lends a “Hi-Tech” aesthetic to the stage, reminiscent of full scale stadium design and in keeping with the cultural programme."
