Looks disgusting, I'm a fan of bowl shaped stadiums a la Etihad, Emirates, Wembley, Allianz, Olympic Stadium.

Rectangular stands are ugly.

I disagree, more atmosphere in rectangular shaped stadiums.

I know this may very well not get the go ahead but i would be very jealous of Chelsea if they had this!

Only the middle image is an official render. The others are fan/press mock ups.

I think it would be one of the best stadia in the world, certainly one of the most iconic. In my opinion its a shame for Chelsea, and even football that this isn't likely to go ahead.

All new stadiums are being designed with the bowl shape to maximise the capacity (and therefore revenue) but they're all starting to look generic from the inside, even ours. This would have been a welcome change if it got the go ahead.

News today that Chelsea have submit an offer to buy Battersea Power Staion with a view to build a 60k capacity stadium.

I think in 5 - 10 years time we could be attendance rivals to the Bundesliga especially with us and Chelsea looking to expand and Spurs wanting the Olympic Stadium.
The main reason for high attendances in the Bundesliga is primarily due to their cheap tickets - around 10 to 15 Euros, compare that to the average 40 pound or around 55/60 Euros in England.

Current leaders:

Old Trafford - 75,000
Emirates - 60,000
ST James Park - 52,000

Possible:

Etihad - 55/60,000
Chelsea - 60,000
Spurs and the Olymic Stadium - 60,000

The Premier League atmospheres and average attendances are going to make the PL brand even more huge.

I really don't think Chelsea could fill a 60k Stadium. Their fanbase is definitely not the biggest around.

I was chatting to a Chelsea fan after we beat them 1-0 over a year ago. He was saying that only he and two or three of his mates can afford to go to Chelsea now, most of the lads he used to go with have been priced out. If Chelsea built this and priced accordingly they'd surely push to 55-60k.

Tottenham's cheapest seasoncard is more expensive than our dearest; Chelsea is even more expensive than Spurs.

There's no individuality to any of these stadiums though. Ours could be any of the grounds in these Euro Champonships, and could be any other. The South Stand sing "we are the South Stand!" but it means nothing. The name of the stand is shit, there are twenty other stadiums whose stands are the same and they only get half a stand. The best two stadiums in Europe are the Westfalenstadion:

And the Mestalla:

(soon to be demolished; such a shame!)

No stadiums look like these respectively. Ours is boring...pretty, but boring.
Chelsea's would be individual like these, and iconic too.

The Mestalla is going is it? Always liked that stadium.
I remember going to the Riverside around 1995. What a fucking boring design. Sadly though, as already stated, they all just look the same now whether that lego design like Riverside, Pride Park etc, or the bowl designs. At least ours has the spirals but other than that it's not the greatest stadium in the world.

Hopefully the Sheikh has other ideas ;-)

IF they pulled this off, surely it would be the most iconic stadium in the world. Find myself agreeing with the posts above though... there is something souless about bowl stadiums. If we did end up raising the ends to a 3rd tier what separates it from the emirates?
