I thought I'd heard that too, but I was in the Etihad at the time and the noise just kind of evaporated ;)
I've always thought that to be the case. It's not just the angle of the roof, it's clearly the material too that dampens atmosphere somewhat.
When you go to grounds like Derby the noise is so much louder even though it's only tens of people starting songs at the back of the stand and banging the walls.
Hoping this makes a big impact combined with the singing section in the south stand. Looking forward to hearing it full of blues next season!

Quick Question which I am sure is buried deep in 260 pages of thread.. Are MCFC going to drop the pitch down to improve the experience of the fans in the new three rows?
Nope. That's why the new rows are really cheap
The £50m contract includes adding three rows of seats around the pitchside, where the ground level has been tapered down to create extra room behind the advertising hoardings. The new capacity including the additional 6,000 seats in the south stand and 1,500 around the pitch will take total capacity to just over 55000

Not sure if people have seen the feature on the OS to do with attendances from away fans this season.
Quite interesting.
Bayern brought 2,600 to a nothing game for them in the CL.
Barca meanwhile managed 1,200 (though there were plenty of their supporters sprinkled around the home sections).
Thought that was quite interesting. I know we don't do to well on home attendances but we always travel well.
Looks like while the club know we need a modern, state of the art stadium, they aren't rushing into following the Barca model on this front by just expanding without trying to develop a waiting list and increase interest in the club. They recognise that the English game prefers its stadia to be full even if that means it's smaller.
I'd expect the follow a similar pricing strategy to the South Stand with the North (though I hope they look into providing discounted family season tickets and prioritise cheap concession tickets in there), before possibly increasing the side stands where they will fill from the bottom up and not worry too much about empty seats in the heavens that will occasionally be filled for the biggest games.
Anyway, I'm rambling as per. Interesting to read about that crane - it's been a intense and complex build program and I've said it before, full credit must go to the club and Laing O'Rourke for their excellence in getting it built - those are some complicated engineering drawings they are dealing with on that roof. Good luck to them in meeting the timescales required for completion.

Excellent photos as per usual JRB!! It's going to be a long summer/winter isn't it without interior photos of the stadium?
We should all pitch in for you to go on a tour...
Cant believe someone hasn't been on a tour this week and got some pictures.

Think he's on 1 of the lower rows 1/3 which are apparently rubbish views. Still nearly £200 cheaper ain't half bad. I'm in 115 this year and I've also paid £650.
