Here is what the proposal looks like.  There is more detail and more images in the Scribe link at the end of this story.

I don’t think they are intending on extending the concourse.  These appear to be special areas not everyone can get to.  And I don’t see any way, even from the outfield covered areas, that you can walk behind the bullpens near center field.  I am okay with having areas reserved for special events big groups can rent but would like to have seating and access for the general public along the entire area behind the outfield fence.  You should be able to walk around the whole stadium and buy a ticket to sit where you want to sit.  I have been to Wrigley Field and watched games from the outfield bleachers.  It is a different environment watching a game from there, if done right it can make this stadium special and I would hate to see another opportunity to fix sins from the past lost.

I hated the original design because they didn’t provide any access or seating options behind the outfield fence.  This attempt at addressing that is a start but imho needs some work to be done well.
