Anybody knows what de stage will be like when they hit the stadiums this year ?
Will it be the same as the Arenas ( The Tongue Stage ), will it be local ( as in Hyde Park and Glastonbury ) or will it be new ?

There will be not such a thing as defined stadium tours like the last ones. That is very obvious. They do have a stage similar to Hydepark for Tokyo, Abu Dhabi, Adelaide, Hanging Rock and Auckland. I assume that may be the stage for bigger shows in other places once they decide to continue. However I also assume that the tongue pit stage will remain and some indoor shows can be expected also in Europe if, always if they do continue.

Is anyone who was at Hyde Park able to guess at how many meters across in total that stage was, and how many meters across the actual stage opening minus the screens was?

Great Oak Stage, BST Hyde Park 2013:

"Installed in just 10 days it was based on a 25m x 20m VerTech™ system, with everything extended. [...] The combined weight of trees and screens reached 50 tons, consisting of 3 trunks in total with a main branch to each side extending to 13m long, all of these contained truss on the downstage edge of the stage structure."
