The correct idea for the exterior is there, but in the official renderings they didn't execute it well at all.

The difference with the north's exterior is that it is shorter in height than the south expansion renderings (thus it looks stretched out and a bit off). They need to have the arches at a shorter height if they want to duplicate the north endzone in the new extension, then figure out a way to build the new upper deck on top of the "colosseum"portion.

Well, it's just renderings.

Not possible. The SEZ already has enough weight as is technically has an upperdeck on top of the original stadium already. This new addition has to stand alone as far as support structures go. And of course it's going to taller than the NEZ as that side won't have an upper deck. There's no way to scale the new SEZ to the NEZ and just throw an upper deck up there.
