They look like screens on top of the South Stand exterior?(advertising?) Either that, or they're very big colour pictures?

The North Stand doesn't have them.

Had some free time yesterday in Manchester - so I had a drive around the CFA - recognized most of it from JRBs superb photos but hadn't really appreciated the scale of the development or the quality before yesterday. The depth and quality of landscaping etc is exceptional. I really hope they do tours when it opens.

These pictures look stunning!

I noticed the difference between the north and South stand as you have. Aren't they going to use the same screens that they used to have at wembley on the outside? (I would assume the south stand) I seem to remember it mentioned in the thread a while ago?

Where have these renders of the Stadium appeared from? They are absolutely amazing. Imagine driving up ATW, or ANR and seeing that majestic stadium to your right/left?

We are truly blessed. I am just sad I will miss it all, with moving overseas this month. :(

We'll employ an abseil team for banners and lights by then.

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

Great news, love the Legends lounge

You can see some images here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23674406/Etihad Expansion.pdf

Will the stand be glass at the back (as in the pictures)

Yes it will be glass check out the document above

Thanks a lot mate..I liked this little snippet from page 22-Signage Strategy.....

"MCFC are also looking for ‘partner opportunities’ that will bring additional
non-football revenue."

Refresher for those who aren't too clued up:

3D model video of how the construction will be done:

Pics:

it is going to be stunning to be fair! certainly compared to the anfield lego stand development!

Are they putting a glass facade around the existing concrete?

Looks it in that picture.<br /><br />-- Mon May 05, 2014 9:04 am --<br /><br />

Many thanks to all those on this thread for sharing photos, plans and insights. Just amazing to think this is happening to our club!

On the SSC forum under the retail thread, someone has posted that the Asda Eastlands staff had a meeting over the weekend and informed the staff they were relocating. It's possibly rubbish but send genuine. If anyone knows someone who works there maybe they could confirm this?

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (continue

The interesting thing I read in that report is that they are planning for an increase in the West and East stands and that the long term plan is to replace the old roof

So to all those wishing and hoping that our owners will walk away dont hold your breathe you might go a funny colour...:)

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (continue

I wonder if there is any way of painting the concrete on the exterior so that it looks better without looking false and still blends in.

I suppose if there was they might have already done it unless the whole stadium will be painted after expanding both ends.

Stadium looks great inside and awesome from above though. Love how it looks at night when it's lit up too.

Went past on the bus yesterday and the pitch in the mini stadium look as though it's now ready for seeding, the sand base is in place etc. also they were mowing the other pitches so they must be well on too...boring I know but a little snippet !

The top of the spirals on the Colin bell stand are painted as the concrete was very different in colour.

One of the comments posted under the training academy flythrough.

I'm a fan of Real Madrid and I really liked the remodeling of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium ... But this project has no comparison is simply unbelievable that give me great envy. Excellent hopefully many other clubs take the example is given in Manchester City. It's awesome!

Enough said.
