concourse

Not shy on production value, few sporting events offer such an intimate setting — players mingling casually around the concourse, almost like an AAU tournament.

Two men met us on separate occasions on the busy concourse at Birmingham's New Street Station to collect envelopes containing hundreds of pounds.

While passengers were seen sitting on the concourse floor as they waited for trains at Waterloo, customers across the SWR network experienced delays and cancellations.

On both occasions, supporters inside the 20,000-capacity Audi Field in Washington were told to "exit the seating bowl" and "seek shelter in the concourse" on a message on the stadium's video screen.

Plans include a larger concourse to increase capacity and improve passenger access through additional gate-lines.
