Personally I find small stadiums more difficult/challenging. For me conciliating a facade and a roof it's the most difficult part of designing a stadium, and it's even harder if there is small space to work with. That's why I end up taking the easiest road

artet, is it much harder to use 3DS Max compared to Sketchup?

Not for me, since I know practically nothing about sketchup
I tried it once but it didn't go well so I went for 3ds max and never left.
3dsmax's tools layout may be a little bit scary for newbies, but its easy to learn if you give it a chance, and there are lots of tutorials about it and lots of tools and plugins, some of them free, that simplify and add more speed to the modeling process.

Maybe someone who knows well both programs can give you better answer.

Oh and 3dsmax comes with Mental Ray and gpu render engines like Nvidia Iray.

With how to make a stand and a corner in 3ds max.

Small stadium, no main stand yet. 3025 seat east stand, north and south end stand holds about 3600 spectators each. End stand can be converted to 2000 seats in future.

A small Tennis Stadium I am working on. All my render plugins have stopped working since the update to Sketchup, have any of you had this problem?

Artet, how you can copy rows and put them in the right position one on another?

By turning on "snaps toggle" and setting it to vertex snap, then just select the row, select the move tool and put your mouse over one of the vertices of the front down row and move it in diagonal to opposite vertex.

Or go to "Tools" menu and choose "array" and move the row using array window options.

Or download the 1h tutorial I made at your request on how to make a stadium with curved stands. It has no audio but I made subtitles so you understand what I'm doing. Since it was my first video tutorial I forgot to highlight the mouse arrow so it could be a bit hard to follow it some times, but anyway here it is...
