North Stand Construction Discussion

Will the seating be wider than what you see in those pics? It looks quite narrow but the framework only goes to that width currently.
 
Does the new N.S development include new scoreboards? The current ones in the N.S are too small to for fans in SSL3 - And since the S.S development the screens in that end have never been replaced.

Was it mentioned (Quite a while ago) that the bridging structure between the two towers would be lifted into place in one go?

Meant to add previously, this will most likely only happen once the two towers have come fully to ground. The one has had the pier removed and ground prepped for piling, other one not far behind.

What was the rationale for building the towers initially as cantilevered rather than from the ground up from the outset?

The backstay cables and foundations were in the way. They had to cantilever to transfer the frontstay cables, to then be able to remove the back, pile and get the steel built from the ground.
 
Used to work in a hotel for more than 20 years, I find myself more fascinated by the hotel construction going up floor by flloor than I am with the steel frame work.
Did they show detailed floor plans for the hotel during the unveiling? Cant remember. If so, where could I see them.

All the drawings are in application 136763/FO/2023 on the MCC planning portal (the direct links time out so do a search if needed).

Thank you very much. Will have a gander.

Love the look of that 2 floor presidential suite, nice.
Cant seem to find the main reception though.

It is on the first level above the square facing F&B units, there is a very small entrance area on the ground floor, takes people up to the level above where the hotel facilities start.

Makes sense. Match day/coop arena riff raff on the ground floor, hotel starts on the first floor.
