Would be good to have a continuous mural across both stands to blend them together a bit more.

The panelling of the CB and ES look proper dated.

Don’t forget what you are seeing on the western elevation is only the interior cladding with insulation then the outer cladding still to go !

Even better a full LED wrap, a great income provider as well.

I can’t understand why LEDs haven’t been installed all around the stadium, the rotundas could have adverts going round them.

I mean the old part more than anything, just looks instantly dated next to the new part which is understandable! I’m sure they’ll make it look great eventually

Just that space between new north stand and spiral needs refreshing.

Hopefully it will be done once construction is finished, along with the walkways etc.

Sorry don’t understand your comment about advertising revenues tbh , bearing in mind the frequency of match days ( 30 per season at best ) vs. The initial capital outlay my make it unviable ?? But may be proved wrong ;-)

The stadium can be seen from far away, it would be on 365 days a year, a lot of traffic, cars, people, aircraft go past the ground every minute.

I suspect there would be problems getting a planning app/variation through for that - though with the Coop Arena up and running now with its enormous advertising displays it might be easier to get one of those through now...

Hopefully!

Yes the stadium can be seen from miles away
But seeing the adverts is a completely different thing ! I assume your comment on aircraft was somewhat “tongue in cheek “ ;-)
