I'm going to say something potentially controversial...
The uneven repeated black blocks between the brickwork looks ugly to me, would look much better if it was just all brickwork.

Wasn't it mentioned though that the black blocks will stay bit its unfinished and will eventually look symmetrical?

I seem to remember the black strips are to try to mimic the designs of the windows in the surrounding brick buildings of the dock, and in particular the Tobacco Warehouse, or something like that.
I thought it looked better when they were more window-like in the early phases of the build, but I think it's the sort of thing that could evolve and change over the lifetime of the stadium, as with pretty much anything that isn't the concrete and steel foundations.

The latest video from the club is already behind on the roof progress, but the second half has some great angles of the pitch from the stands

Here's Mr Drone's coverage of the final lift (it's a full video so you might want to skip a few bits)

It would need a buyer.
Liverpool are invested in where they are and BMD would be a reduction in capacity, Tranmere aren't able, and it's not licensed for that many gigs per year to make it financial apparently.
