Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

The new stand is the absolute biggest it could possibly be. That's because the original roof cable net restricted the stand going just that little bit higher.

The new design allows the original supports to feed its cables through the gap between the new roof and the top of the stand. If the stand were any higher then this would not be possible.

Has there been any plans / artists pics of the concourse and facilities of the new 3rd tier south stand?
will there just be one concourse (this would get packed out surely!? or have they planned a split level concourse like sunderland have?
anyone ITK??

Just a small one. The roofs of both the East and West stands of the main stadium now have massive Etihad Stadium decals on them like the main campus building and academy stadium. They can be seen as you approach the ground from the gas cylinder north end

Like this. You can just see it over the arch of the roof as you walk up to it

Here is the link from the MEN when the planning permission went in

There is a brocher type "New Stand.pdf" somewhere on the club site which is 37 pages long. If anyone can find it they could post a link.

I've had it on my desk top for more than a year now, but don't no how to upload it on to here.

Its full of artist impressions and plans.

Not sure at present we are gonna fill this stadium when completed, we need the "feel good factor" back .

A couple of marquee signing wouldn't go a miss.

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.

why the "??"

It's quite straight forward, or in years time will people refer to our current ground as the tihad?

Typo or not, bugs me when people do this to our beloved 80 year stadium...
