Thanks for the pics. I must say though as impressive as everything is - don't like the "pipe" look of the cladding on the academy building. Smooth would have been nicer imo.

See I really like that, think it looks great. The only thing I dont like is the bridge, bit underwhelmed by it - it was a great chance to make an architectural statement thats been missed imo.

They went away from the original idea of making a statement with the bridge as they didn't want it to become more icon than the plans for the rest of the Campus

FYI

The Academy will be moving from Platt Lane in October. Had the option for July but decided it would interfere with important pre season training and would rather wait until all Ts crossed and I`s dotted before making the move.

Academy players (and families) will be treated best in the world from what I have seen. Hope they dont get too much to soon and loose the edge. However I know City are aware of that and will try to address it.

Will that be the same for the first team as well do you know? It's been rumoured on this thread that they wouldn't be moving in till around October as well.

What will the overall capacity be once both the North & South ends are finished? 65,000?

Refresher for those who aren't too clued up:

Will the Etihad Campus be apart of the current stadium tour as and when it is finished? Or is it not open to the public? Be great to have a walk around and see the place.

I still don't get why they're not starting the new rows round the pitch straight away.

I'm pretty sure they have remodel the pitch and resurface the the concrete steps a bit to slightly reduce the gap between rows...

Been lurking around this thread for years.

I have a question for those ITK about the Legends (?) lounge.

Now the SS will be bigger, are there any plans to have a new bigger lounge under the new 3rd tier?..(Apologies if missed anywhere!)

Seems we are missing a trick on having a large enough facility to accommodate a good number of people for events such as the Point at LCC. ...There's either tents put up in the concourse of the first level or a temporary structure put outside on the car park.

Thanks, especially to the people posting the photo's etc, great work.

There are images somewhere but I believe there will be open concourse areas and sports bars and will be a lot more middle of the road as opposed to something like the legends lounge.

I am sure someone more proficient at searching could find the images.

The Legends Lounge currently in the South Stand will be bigger and better in the new SS

Looks amazing. A far cry from the Gene Kelly and the leaking roof of the North Stand.
