Presuming you're talking about outside the stadium where the roof supports are flanked by two staircases then yes this will be filled in with mesh. The mesh is different to the mesh between the 1st floor bar and the roof so it will be interesting to see what it looks like.

Cracking photos. Looks like fours weeks of work to finish the outside and tidy up. Presume the inside is coming along as well.

Good photo's @rowarta & @IanBishopsHaircut.

I presume that if and when the North, East & West stands are all expanded that the smaller of the cable supporting columns (the original ones) outside the ground will be removed?
That will look much better not to mention freeing up some space at ground level.

They will stay in place as long as sections of the current roof remain
 
Anyone else think the South Stand exterior looks a bit Wembley? Nevertheless it still looks brilliant and the 3 tiers will look amazing especially when the North Stand is also completed. May not be the biggest in England but will certainly be the best to look at.

Most grounds look a bit like that close up with relatively bland panels.

The artists impression (prior to construction) suggested there might be some sky blue illuminated strips jazzing it up a bit, but don't know if that will come to fruition.
I still get the feeling they don't go overboard on the exterior until the North Stand is done, then they might give it a full makeover - but that's entire a gut feeling, not based on any information.
 
The first picture with the grey panels, I am very underwhelmed.
It looks ugly, I hope they do something with it, some pictures or lights just something to make it a bit less bland & boring.

It looks better in reality, largely because of the enormity of it. On a wet Wednesday, less so due to the (imo) bland grey of it. It's not finished yet though, and we're not seeing what it might be like with lights on the interior etc. It's all subjective though, one man's bland is another man's gorgeously understated.
