North Stand Construction Discussion

Coatigan just reminded me via PM. Thanks.

I'm on the Open Doors event tomorrow at the Etihad, North stand.

There is no onsite tour sadly, but understandable, as it's a very busy construction site, as you all know. However, there is a viewing platform, so I will get some pictures from that vantage point, and I will also do a construction picture roundup.

There is a Q&A session as part of the event, so if you have any questions at all please post them in the thread today. I will write the questions down and pass them on to the (SISK) person doing the Q&A.

Please keep the questions about the construction of the North stand expansion.

Thanks.
Are you there at 11am? if so i will see you there
 
These type of events at the Etihad are where the additional hotel stays bar match days and concerts at the Coop Live Arena are going to come from, especially with the new event and hospitality areas and offerings within the North stand redevelopment.

 
Fantastic picture! It gives a genuine scale and perspective of what to expect when you enter the fan zone, even without the roof on atm.
When walking in the last match we commented on how wide the area is, the renders make it look a lot narrower than the reality.
 
And still a third of that length to get bolted on to the end. Is it really just a bolted connection to take it to the end of the existing roof? Surely I'm missing something obvious there?

Cable supports from the towers to each beam.
Also, I would think there maybe more steel work to go up at each side,ie above the side panels.
