Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Is that where the 3 new rows in the South stand lower tier are really going to end? That looks pretty poor TBH. Hopefully it will be carried on to the corner of South stand and the Colin Bell stand.

I noticed for the first time on saturday that they've already done the same thing at the North Stand end as well. Even though that's a good way off yet.

The 3D viewer has the concrete going to the corner but with no seats, so presume it was atleast considered or is yet to be finished off.

The stadium, inside and outside. Picture quality isn't great.(bloody cloudy and grey Manchester weather)

One of the roof supports including cables is now finished. Note the additional terracing and seating, covered, in the East stand lower tier.

Just posted on SSC by.....

Strange that there isn't as place for this project/proposal at Sports City/the Etihad Campus. Perhaps there isn't any room for it?

L@tics;

Ice Hockey outfit Manchester Phoenix have announced plans for a brand-new 3,000-seater arena, with Olympic-sized ice pad, in the city centre.

Directors at the EPL club have produced detailed proposals for the venue, which they say will boast "state-of-the-art energy recovery systems".

If plans are approved, the proposed arena will signal the return of senior ice hockey to the centre of Manchester for the first time in over a decade.
“These plans are incredibly exciting and I can’t wait to bring senior ice hockey back to Manchester city centre. We owe it to the club’s supporters to do this and they know what it takes to make it happen.

“Along with over 100 volunteers, we made The Ice Dome a reality. I am confident it can happen again, wherever we go.

“The Manchester Phoenix faithful are the lifeblood of this club and they deserve a great venue.

“That is why I instructed architects to create plans for an arena with an Olympic-sized ice pad and 3,000 seats.”

– NEIL MORRIS, OWNER OF MANCHESTER PHOENIX

The club says a number of city centre sites have been identified for the new arena, which will eventually make way for a permanent structure.

An application for planning permission is being prepared, the club added, and will be submitted to the city council.<a class="postlink" href="http://www.itv.com/news/granada/2015-04-27/3-000-seat-arena-plan-for-manchester-phoenix/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.itv.com/news/granada/2015-04 ... r-phoenix/</a>

Don't you lose the first three rows on champions league nights to advertising ? Do those seats come with a periscope?

Where will the stewards stand/sit/crouch?

Having a front seat, with a steward, LED advertising boards, a camera man, and a grass slope up towards the pitch in front of you does not make for a good view.

That's why I'm saying are these being put in place for champions league nights, I can't imagine anyone sitting in those seats at any game. Losing three rows at £50 a seat must cost the club a bit of money.

Building a few extra bullshit seats at the front doesn't cost much, theyre the rows we lose on champions league nights, the club don't lose any money and no one has to move seat.

Or I could be completely off the mark.
