Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Judge those corners in 8 to 10 years time when we have a 76,000 capacity

26,000 lower tier
13,000 middle tier
37,000 one continuous upper tier

Look at the front row of the new stand - it ties in exactly with the line of the Colin bell upper tier. The design has been future proofed.

This is the key - ignore the corners.

I'd prefer at least a 77k capacity if not an 82k capacity.

I'd prefer 76,999 or 81,999. The bloke next to me is a wanker.

Absolutely nothing to do with city but absolutely blown away with this . <a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/EUs70OZnqpc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://youtu.be/EUs70OZnqpc</a>

Igore the corners at your peril. Without them where we we put the 4 massive screens?

It will take some quality engineering to get those sides done. The spirals are a huge obstacle and the fact that they help support the cable net for the roof makes it all the more daunting.

I suppose at the time of development the original cable net will only be supporting the sides.

They will have to take the roof off pre season for the two sides.

On one the images somebody posted the spirals end-up being semi-countersunk (so to speak) into the sides of the building.

Some aren't happy unless they have something to moan about.

Not moaning mate. They're a topic of conversation so I'll pass comment and the truth is they look really shit. As I've also said a couple of pages back - I don't really give a fuck about them, but there's no getting away from it and whilst we're on the subject - they're crap

No they are not.

The work is not finished yet and they dont look shit at all. What the heck did you expect/want it to look like?

Was just hoping they wouldn't look so crap. It looks as though someone made a nice little model stadium, but then a kid accidentally broke the corners and tried to cover their mistake up with a bit of glue and a bent piece of card and made a proper shit job of it. It will all be worthwhile in a decade or so when the other sides are expanded, I'm sure
