Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Will there be a few rows of seats taken out for where the stewards stand to separate the home and away fans? By the looks of the 3rd tier, there's no seats missing in the top left corner where the away supporters will be.

Now the pitch is clear you get a true picture of we are about to see come August, the fact we are going to be playing a team 'chelsea' who will fill all 3 tiers will give us a view of a fantastic new build. The fact the game will be on TV with Sky giving plenty of pre match cover of the new facilities and no doubt the campus not only will the attention be on any new signings but also the investment by our owners, who no doubt will be pleased to see the ground full to capacity.

Or they'll just film it an hour before kick off and comment on all the empty seats

Gonna go one better...

Blue and white alternate blocks on the middle tier AND the end seats next to the stairs are maroon! :)

Similar to this but with bigger white parts. They can call it the 'City Scarf Tier' ;)

I get those traditional colours but simplcity and blue/white alone is enough for me. They should colour the under canopies of the roof the same too. And all concourses, pavements, roads...

Looking at that picture, I just wish the new roof was a bit lower, and steeper. Looked much more that way in the plans.

It seems too elevated and neutral for my liking, a lower and steeper roof would've been great for keeping the noise in and aiding the atmosphere. Bit of a shame.

Besides that, it looks great.

Leave the seats as they are, logos etc are so 90s. And anyway you only see them when the stadium's empty so what's the point?

So that would be every home game then :-)

I know what you mean, from the outside view and side on it looks a lot steeper and sloped towards the pitch than previously, but it's still quite open. The removal of sound absorbing material will still make things a hell of a lot better though, and I think it will be a lot better than previously. When it's all done we'll be able to see the true extent, the perspective of that image makes it hard to get the true angle.
