guard/observation tower

I found mangrullo (an argentinian expression) translated into English as a guard/observation tower in a dictionary

neutral philgoddard : In a football stadium?//You said guard/observation.

It's for sound control Phil, so why can't it be a tower?
neutral AllegroTrans : Does a football stadium have such a tower? Asker could check on Google street level perhaps // yes, entirely possible

It's for sound control, so it could be a tower Allegro
agree neilmac : Just "tower" would do. Road crew set them up quickly with scaffolding for mixing desks etc. at outdoor gigs...

Thank you very much Andrew
disagree Jennifer Levey : guard and observation are both inappropriate in Asker's context

OK Jennifer, but that's what I found when I searched for mangrullo which is not at all common in Spanish.

Observation deck

This term has the merit of sounding high without being an actual tower, see this stadium construction:

"A covered FOH (Front of House) booth is an indispensable addition to any music event. The FOH mixing booth can be constructed closer to the ground, or can be elevated to a height that makes it possible for the audience to see through to the other side from beneath the platform. Another option available is to construct a multi-level FOH tower."

This UK government site has details on sound level measurement at the FOH and showing where the FOH is situated relative to the stage.

Publication by the Instituto Nacional de la Música (INAMU) in Argentina has a glossary of terms in which it states

"FOH – Front of House (también conocido como MANGRULLO): espacio donde se controla y opera el sonido, la iluminación y video. Por lo general se arma de frente al escenario, pero también puede armarse a un costado del mismo dependiendo del evento"
