minor point: functionally a dumbwaiteris required connecting the kitchen to the restaurant.
major point: it is difficult to judge from these sketches but the interior looks like left over space rather than the event space that the concept demands.
Is your concept only about the shape of the exterior skin of the building? or does it reach towards design of spatial organisation?
A stadium is created as a shell for a powerfully charged volume of event space. Here you have taken that space and filled it with elevators and mundane circulation. If the concept is more than a skin then the interior should be more powerful, given more status.
Again this is just a sketch and the design is in progress but this is a fundamental idea, so it should be self-evident even now. If your concept is just to make a round shape then I would drop the idea of a stadium altogether because it is not really a concept based on form. Form is a byproduct not a starting point for a stadium.
That is, a stadium is not defined by the curving form, but rather by what the curving form makes possible. A square is also possile as so many sqaure stadium buildings will attest.
If, as it seems in this case, the curving form is a constraint that you are forcing a design to fit into then the point of the exercise is weakened considerably. It is important that you show how the form is consistent with the function of the whole. otherwise why bother having i concept? better just to say that you like curved forms and not add the conceptual framework. That is in fact perfectly valid in my book. However as soon as you set up the conceptual link to the stadium it is impossible to talk about the project in any other terms and you create a lot of openings for criticism unless you are consistent and use the idea with some depth.
