Sitting in that area would give me anxiety

I wouldn't expect much cladding.
This is what they did for the Russia world cup back in 2018

One of the renders on BMO Field's website shows a colourful covering on the backside of the bleachers on the North side. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same on the South side.

whats the point of even sitting that far from the pitch?

It's definitely possible, but its the easiest thing to cut if they're short on time and money. Let's see how the construction progresses into the winter

It doesnt show well on photos, but Ive sat at the top of a north stand that was this high. It is a very fun experience in soccer games because the 'ultras' are usually seated here and there's always good atmosphere from the chanting fans there. And you do get a very tactical view of the game without having to tilt your head, but it may not be apparent to a casual soccer viewer

Solid progress, thank as always Kotsy. It appears there is some pretty hefty steel being erected on the south side of the stadium adjacent to the scaffolding. Is there a permanent component being constructed on the south side?

I don't think anything in the south side is permanent, whereas everything we see (so far) in the north will be there after the World Cup.

Grey seats 
Assuming they're replacing all seats in the stadium, they better change them back to red after the World Cup.
