I wouldn't say that its 'absolutely diabolical' but i will say its somewhat gray, mundane and ugly, when we could surely do so much more with it? No doubt, much more influential people than I are looking into it.................The exterior of our stadium is absolutely diabolical and it's a shame the club have zero interest in improving it when in comparison to how much they invest regularly it surely wouldnt cost much?
He said the fan that sent the question in was right to draw his attention to it.didnt khaldoon say in his interview that the etihad and surrounding area would get improved?
The inside is something else and should generate a lot of money for them. I suppose we own half the new co-op live building.It's interesting that it appears to keep almost all the existing seating, and is just a new hugely expensive wrapper for the old stadium.
Is that meant to be a plus point??Top stadia like Spurs‘ are like the Trafford Centre inside
Spurs stadium is a disaster, 1 x 8ft bar for 3000 people and can barely move in seats due to a bar like it is there to injure someone.He said the fan that sent the question in was right to draw his attention to it.
Trouble is it’s a cost rather than investment.
Top stadia like Spurs‘ are like the Trafford Centre inside and have an eye on the future.
Yeah I know what you mean but times move on. Our concourse selling just beer is going to look very out of date soon.Is that meant to be a plus point??
Looks nice to me… not as good as Real Madrid’s though. Point is we could do much better with ours compared to the newer ones. The outside of ours looks like a car park and a shabby rusty one at that. It hasn’t been looked after.Spurs stadium is a disaster, 1 x 8ft bar for 3000 people and can barely move in seats due to a bar like it is there to injure someone.
Should have put in less seats, Arsenal's is 10 x better.

Fair point I’ve not been and if it’s like the leg room at OT then that aspect isn’t great.Not good for fans with everything squeezed into a the minimum space like Old Trafford. I was expecting a modern stadium with good facilities and space standards and was very disappointed.
Also a ball ache to get in compared to what it used to be like. It would be difficult to know what it is like without visiting.

Looks like they have removed some of the upper tiers? I’m sure there were more than are showing on that video?
Was designed like that for the common wealth games to reflect the industrial area it once was ! The fact is we need to smarten it up with some exterior cladding and glass!He said the fan that sent the question in was right to draw his attention to it.

Most of the costs roof apart have gone on building a hotel, retail and leisure facilities , they are looking at bringing in revenue from outside football.Real have spent £500m on their stadium development. Not 1 extra seat added but lots of additional corporate features ( and looks great from the outside ).
This is one of the reasons Real are goosed financially. They can’t sign players and were praying on the super league happening to bail them out. It’s the reason they are still clinging to it.

Like ourselves with the Concert Venue and the eventual development of the area around the stadium and adjacent to it.
The CFG rather than City directly, they've taken on half of the build costs now with Oakview so are (presumably) 50% partners. I think we get a lease fee from the land as well? It's also about footfall on the campus long term when hotels etc get built.How exactly will City benefit from the Concert revenue . ?
Not clear on that.
Is it sale of land, partnership, parking, ?
