I'm very much in favour of this design if only for aesthetic reasons. The wraparound cladding offers a far more attractive, sinuous look which would help to detract from what some see as the brutalist multistorey car park appearance of the current stadium.

Agreed, apparently this is unfeasible though.

Hmmm...I did wonder. Sorry, I missed that post. Why is it unfeasible? Structural engineering reasons or prohibitive cost.

The design is very much dated and nothing like what we ultimate went with. Looking at the South Stand, it’s somehow using the old roof supports rather than the newer triangle structures which ultimately went up to provide independent support.

The sides are also using the spirals and masts for a new roof support. Not sure how we’d get rid of the old roof and then throw an even higher roof up using the same supports without the stand being totally uncovered for a season.

This ‘plan’ is very much a design for looks rather than anything logical it would seem, although it’s interesting to see how the outside of the stadium could evolve in future.

That is (apparently) a design put forward for the Olympic 2000 bid. They used part of the design for the 2002 Commonwealth games.

Yes but only the concept of the roof and spirals The City of Manchester stadium was designed as a football stadium from the outset with a clever use of the geophysical nature of the area in that the games track was at ground lever with the football pitch seven meters lower this also meant a temporary north stand
 
Whilst Manchester City Council wait for the go ahead from the Government to dismantle the gasometers at the back of the Etihad Campus, over in Milan the proposal is to bring two gasometers back to life.

Tens of thousands of square metres of poorly exploited land will become green spaces surrounding the gasometers, symbolic local landmarks. The gasometers will be converted into an innovation hub, a home for laboratories (such as the St Microelectronics clean rooms), startups

“The Bovisa gasometers must become factories of ideas, knowledge and innovation that welcome #startups, businesses and students from across Italy and the world.

Populous.

Note the greeness, landscaping and trees that will surround the proposed new AC Milan and Inter Milan shared stadium.

Compare that to the Etihad stadium, surrounded by……

Let’s hope Populous bring some greenery, trees and landscaping to the area at back of the North stand expansion including City Square, the hotel, etc.

I'll wait for reality rather than an artists impression as to how 'green' that's going to be ;)

I think they have to do much more on the landscaping side mate with the arena, stadium but also hotels and potential retail park? Can’t have thousands of people a week going to a grey dull shit hole area?
