Are Gaga fans aware that TCB stage was shaped like an 'M'..

I get why people hate the stage and I agree that's probably the worst she ever had, but I think most of the fans hate it way too much only because they judge it on a pop concert experience perspective. Many rock artists have simple and boxed stages even in stadiums and maybe Gaga wanted to rely on this rock-ish vibe for the show. The fact that Chromatica needed something else is a different thing, but I do understand the design to a certain degree 

She herself explained that the reason for using boxed stage design was to prevent the lighting and visuals from being affected by the sun but to be honest, looking at the videos I watched, I can see that the stage is still affected by sunlight even though it is boxed.

She shared a video before the first concert at Germany, I belive she mentioned in that video

Edit: I watched the video again but she is not mention about why stage was closed but I'm sure that I heard that from somewhere or I might going crazy I don't know lol

No, I've just rewatched it and there she says nothing about the stage itself other than the brutalist influences, but later she tweeted (I think) that they chose to keep the retractable roof closed in the stadium in Duesseldorf to preserve the artistry of the films and lights, it wasn't about the boxed stage

Oh it make sense now, but if they can close the roof when ever they want, why did they choose the boxed stage so dosen't make sense at the same time. ( And I know that they are not able to close every stadium's roof because not every stadium has retractable roof but still as I said boxed stage also didn't help with the visibility of lights and films neither.) 

Overall it was an amazing tour for me, I hope she goes for something more bigger and extravagant for the next time.

I was in the front row on the outside edge of one of the catwalks and only got to actually look at her physically maybe 5-6 times. I had to watch the screens the entire rest of the show to see her and she only used the catwalk I was touching two times! Once out to do free woman and then back to the main stage. I paid a lot of money and honestly would have just spent way less and sat in the lower balcony if I had known it was going to be that bad. Whoever built the stage had ZERO perspective from the fans in the audience. 

I was at the inner side and I got to see her back (FW) and her rushing backstage (after Enigma) 

i just wished she looked at us once

With all due respect, TCB stage is a good example of what a stage shouldn't be like. The way it goes inside and you get partial views from even the slighest angle frustrates me.

Absolutely agree. I barely had an angle and if it weren’t for the videos online of the concert, I wouldn’t have known what I was missing from the obstruction. It should’ve been like a curved tv, or at least a box-like set up but with the sides on an opening angle. Unless u were in direct view of the center, your view was obstructed. Was ridiculous.

I went to the Hershey show and I feel so lucky. If I was at any other stadium my view would've been very blocked even though I was in the front-most left side section. I could see her during Bad Romance and the entire rest of the show, but only because the stage was set back so far. Hersheypark Stadium is set up with two long grandstands going far back, but so seats on either short side of the field. This is why they set the stage so far back. I originally had very similar tickets for MetLife and I'm so glad I sold those and got the other ones when she announced the Hershey show.

Suddenly everyone loves the artRAVE stage where you could literally see through it to see her dance

Bad Bunny's tour is a great example of what a boxed stage should look like. It literally has the same light strobes on the side screens as TCB but the view is so much better because the screens are recessed inwards into the stage.
