Terrace seating does have more atmosphere, but i think it's a sign of the times with the new stadiums we see.

New stadiums we wouldn't have seen if it were not for Hillsborough and the Taylor report.
But i agree that Hillsborough was just waiting to happen, anyone else who has been caught in a frozen mob being forced into the same turnstile by old bill will agree with me on that one. Also if you have ever been stuck up against a crush barrier, it feels really life threatening when you cant move away and your getting crushed up against it, taking away a lot of your breath to say the least. Terracing had it's problems yes, but it was not at fault for the disaster, and with modern safety improvements it can be just as safe as seating. Germany is a great example of this.
The taylor report was screaming for change, but not saying that terracing was to blame or was unsafe.
