Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Alan Oakes Shinpads]

Surrounded by new faces in East Stand level one last night but most had local accents.

Judging by their portfolio, Silver Lake could prove influential in developing the Collar Site.

I may be wrong but believe their American rivals in sport and entertainment run the Manchester Arena.

If the collar site development works it could be replicated at other CFG locations and a global network established.

it did look quite full.

Eventually, or should I more accurately say "briefly", it took till about 25 minutes for some to find a seat, then 10 minutes later they started to drift away again, not filling up again in the second half for about 15 minutes, about 15 minutes before people started to leave again.

No idea why so many were late in, I was late myself (lost track of time in a bar in town) and missed kick off by about minute, but it wasn't the queues outside as we walked straight in to SS3 (M1) which was very surprising.

I think it was the most "touristic" attendance I've ever seen too, but well done those that did turn up, no matter how long you were there.

two full rows left in front of me towards 80 plus mins. chance faded and they all got up. was frustrating.

was in the ground from just after 7pm no queues or anything

No not quite but still that's a fantastic crowd for a game where City were almost through. There were next to no away fans, with City fans in the blocks directly above the away fans, hence some empty seats elsewhere in the ground.

And it felt like 30k of those fans were not seasoncard holders. The Champions League crowds show that City have a new audience of fans around them now apart from an intenselly loyal but limited number of fans who saw us through thin and thinner (the free the 30,000).

It’s the same for all Champions League matches. Lots of new faces for every match as compared to PL matches.

The crowd was impressive given that we were playing Shakhtar for the fifth year in succession (well it seems like that) and the Group was virtually done and dusted.

It probably indicates that this is to time to extend the North Stand.

Was thinking similar wonder if they are behind the new arena next to the ground?

The geezer at the back of 319 or wherever it was getting all the kids singing was brilliant

Interesting just found this

Now we have an answer, just days after Oak View, the company backed by private-equity giant Silver Lake, revealed its Manchester plans in more detail. Last year, private-equity firm Silver Lake invested more than $100M in Oak View, The Wall Street Journal reported. Today Oak View Group is leading projects in New York, Milan, Seattle, Austin, Texas, and Palm Springs, California, with Manchester slated as its UK debut.

I have been a few times to CL games as a guest of Heineken.... most are there for the free food and drink in their huge marquee.
Many have no interest in football, let alone City. They drift in and out, and some don't go into the stadium at all ...

Don’t think there are any concerts announced for next summer? Could be an indication that there will be building work? Can’t remember whether there were concerts when South stand was done?

Most that I'm talking about were families, I don't think many were corporate, just late arrivers/early leavers, I thought last night was a bit odd. EL3 even tried to get a mexican wave going a couple of times, *rolls eyes.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Yes. This was not really a very attractive game and 52k were there. Shows that City are now reaching way beyond our original core support.

I think in the annual report it says that last season 130,000 different home fans went to City last season.

how can they get that figure? I mean i dont use a ticket in my own name i just go under two seperate season tickets if needs be

There were from memory.

How old are those plans to have The Music playing an arena?

Therme Resort proposal, Trafford City.

Therme Group has submitted its planning application for a 28-acre wellbeing resort on the site of EventCity in Trafford.

The tropical-themed, warm water resort, initially set to open by early 2022, will cover a site on Barton Dock Road, between Phoenix Way, Mercury Way and the Bridgewater Canal, is currently home to EventCity, which is set to relocate into the building occupied by Soccerdome.

Therme Manchester is being developed in partnership with Peel L&P. Therme is advised by WSP | Indigo.

Proposals include a 700,000 sq ft resort building, a 43,000 sq ft public square, a 38,000 sq ft lake and up to 1,500 car parking spaces. An eight-pitch outdoor football facility is also to be built next door.

According to Therme, the scheme aims to be “the world’s most advanced wellbeing resort, accessible to all, embodying a perfect interplay of nature, technology and culture.”

The design focuses on natural themes and biodiversity, and includes cycle paths and footpaths to open up the area and provide improved connectivity around TraffordCity and with the neighbouring Bridgewater Canal.

Therme’s resort is proposed to be divided into four separate areas. The Galaxy and Galaxy Relax area will provide family entertainment, featuring a wave pool, relaxation areas, steam rooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and food and drink outlets. The pool halls are proposed to be 21m in height while a tower of around 45m will accommodate water slides to the North West of the site.

To the South East of the site, the Palm area will focus on “peaceful relaxation”, again with indoor and outdoor pools, along with mineral baths, steam rooms, and water-based treatments. Food and drink provision here will focus on health and nutrition.

The Elysium area will be a sauna and salt therapy area, joining on to the Palm. With wet and dry saunas, the area will also include roof gardens for outdoor activities. The final area, named Genesis, will provide specialist water-based and dry-based therapies.

Extensive landscaping is set to include a garden in the shape of the Lancashire Rose.

Other members of the project team including Exterior Architecture; TTHC; and BWB Consulting.

I don't know. It's there in the annual report though. They probably record the names and addresses of every fan and give each one a unique ID (we've all got supporter numbers), and they can see who goes and who doesn't. Obviously it's not perfect.

If e-sports kicks off anything like it is in America at the moment it will be huge!

Looks brilliant. Could we have accommodated something of 28 acres on the campus?

Liverpool release more details about new Anfield Rd 16,000 stand. Extra 7,000 seats taking Anfield to 61k. Cost £60m.

How come Spurs spend about £750m on 60k stand? Using City and Liverpool costings, a 60k stadium should come to around £250m?
