So, I’m doubling down on my theory that the Stadium is just a massive red herring.

I know some of you weren't convinced, but I’ve got the actual receipts now. If you’re still falling for the Stadium hype for S4, you’re lowkey getting baited.

Check the actual facts from the backend:

First off, the Main Building (the one connecting the Skyview Towers)

has strings for trigger_elevator_path_physics.

That’s a huge tell. Most games just use a "black screen" teleport, but Full Circle is coding actual physics-based movement for the shafts. You don't put that much effort into elevator physics for a building that’s just a "background" prop.

Also, if you look at the tags, the Stadium is almost all Static_Mesh. It’s basically just a big, unmovable rock.

But the "Atrium" (the connector building) is packed with Dynamic_Actor tags and specific assets for multi-level-planters and suspended_walkways.

It’s literally designed for complex interior lines and gaps.

It also just makes zero sense from a map flow perspective.

Why would they drop the Tri Towers Garage in Season 3 and then ignore the literal Towers it's attached to?

The "Under Construction" signs at the towers even have new scaffold_break scripts in the code now, meaning they're ready to be opened up or changed.

The Stadium is just easy marketing fluff because it looks cool in a 5-second trailer.

The real content is the "Vertical District" in the city center. Full Circle is definitely trolling us with the previews haha 👀🙈🙉🙊

(own opinion)

I’ve been looking into the Season 4 announcement and specifically the new area that's supposed to cost 250 Ripchips.

Most people see the "THIS MUST BE THE PLACE" banner at the stadium and think that’s it, but I’m convinced that’s just a red herring to fire up the rumors.

I spent a lot of time yesterday checking out the interiors of both locations, and honestly, the stadium doesn't look like it’s worth 250 chips. If you compare it to the island (which was 500), a stadium with just some big ramps squeezed into a flat area feels like a downgrade.

SkyView Tower makes way more sense for a few reasons:

Verticality: A multi-story skatepark is a much better "experience" for the price. I’ve looked at the inside, and there is way more potential for technical spots and interesting lines compared to the open stadium floor.

The Garage Connection: It has a direct connection to the garage. In terms of map flow, it’s the most logical expansion for a paid area.

The Brickswitch missed Community Park: Brickswitch still doesn't have a community park. I’m betting the stadium actually becomes the public community park for that district, which is why it wouldn't be locked behind Ripchips. It’s better for the game if those creative areas stay open to everyone.

Regarding the price, the 250 Ripchips is pure marketing psychology anyway.

Most of us who play daily are already at 10/10/10 and have nothing left to buy.

It’s just a "currency sink" to make us feel like the grind still has a purpose even though there’s no real story mode yet.

I also think that once Brickswitch fully opens with this update, EA is going to announce the end of Early Access. It feels like the final piece of the puzzle (for me).

What do you guys think? You choosing the tower or the stadium?
