Step 1: Calculate the area of the pitch (1.1.1) The pitch is a rectangle with a length of 23 m23 \text{ m} and a width of 4 m4 \text{ m}. Apitch=length×widthA_{pitch} = length \times \text{width} Apitch=23m×4 mA_{pitch} = 23 m \times 4 \text{ m} Apitch=92m2A_{pitch} = 92 m^2 The area of the pitch is 92.00m2\boxed{92.00 m^2}.

Step 2: Calculate the area of the oval (1.1.2) The oval is a stadium shape, composed of a rectangular section and two semi-circular ends. The length of the rectangular section is 20 m20 \text{ m}. The radius of the semi-circular ends is r=64 mr = 64 \text{ m}. The width of the rectangular section is equal to the diameter of the semi-circles, which is 2r=2×64m=128 m2r = 2 \times 64 m = 128 \text{ m}.

Area of the rectangular part of the oval: Arect_oval=20m×128m=2560m2A_{rect\_oval} = 20 m \times 128 m = 2560 m^2 Area of the two semi-circular ends (which form one full circle): Acircle=πr2A_{circle} = \pi r^2 Acircle=π×(64m)2A_{circle} = \pi \times (64 m)^2 Acircle=π×4096m212867.9635m2A_{circle} = \pi \times 4096 m^2 \approx 12867.9635 m^2 Total area of the oval: Aoval=Arect_oval+AcircleA_{oval} = A_{rect\_oval} + A_{circle} Aoval=2560m2+12867.9635m2A_{oval} = 2560 m^2 + 12867.9635 m^2 Aoval=15427.9635m2A_{oval} = 15427.9635 m^2 Rounding to two decimal places: The area of the oval is 15427.96m2\boxed{15427.96 m^2}.

Step 3: Calculate the area of the grass only (1.1.3) The area of the grass is the area of the oval minus the area of the pitch. Agrass=AovalApitchA_{grass} = A_{oval} - A_{pitch} Agrass=15427.9635m292m2A_{grass} = 15427.9635 m^2 - 92 m^2 Agrass=15335.9635m2A_{grass} = 15335.9635 m^2 Rounding to two decimal places: The area of the grass only is 15335.96m2\boxed{15335.96 m^2}.

Step 4: Calculate the average number of seats in one block (1.2.1) The stadium has a capacity of 2800028000 seats arranged in 88 blocks. Seats per block=TotalcapacityNumberofblocks\text{Seats per block} = \frac{Total capacity}{Number of blocks} Seats per block=28000seats8blocks\text{Seats per block} = \frac{28000 seats}{8 blocks} Seats per block=3500 seats/block\text{Seats per block} = 3500 \text{ seats/block} On average, there are 3500seats\boxed{3500 seats} in one block.

Step 5: Verify the caretaker's claim about the number of rows (1.2.2) Each row of seats needs a height of 700 mm700 \text{ mm}. The stadium height is 30 m30 \text{ m}. The caretaker claims there are 4343 rows. First, convert the height per row to meters: 700mm=0.7 m700 mm = 0.7 \text{ m} Calculate the total height required for 4343 rows: Total height for 43 rows=43×0.7 m\text{Total height for 43 rows} = 43 \times 0.7 \text{ m} Total height for 43 rows=30.1 m\text{Total height for 43 rows} = 30.1 \text{ m} Compare this to the stadium height: The calculated height required for 4343 rows is 30.1 m30.1 \text{ m}, which is greater than the stadium's height of 30 m30 \text{ m}. Therefore, the caretaker's claim is Incorrect\boxed{Incorrect}.
