It's hilarious: this was one of the deficiencies in the stadium they had to fix last minute before opening. The railing height in front of the seats was about 6 inches too low, let alone in front of the stairs which was even more. That's why you see there's small posts welded on top of the railing where the cable part is attached to.
What's worse, instead of just installing a small railing on top of the concrete wall to begin with, they built it in front of the wall, so there's 4"+ less leg/knee room in the front row.
Some things at IGF just baffle me that they ever saw the light of day. It's like they just decided to design and build all the concrete work first, then decided where all the washrooms/concessions/etc fit within that, then later decided how to finish it off. Then fucked it up and had to fix many things. It's so clear very little thought went into most of the building. I'm so afraid of what the Rum Hut area will be like once that gate starts being used by 75% of the crowd.
