It's Terry Christian. He's about to throw himself off.

He'd get a soft landing anyway.

As opposed to him usually tossing himself off.

I've seen the artists impressions before, and they do look absolutely fantastic, but I was more hoping for someone in the know to clarify what will happen to the rest of the ground afterwards... i.e. will the exterior get a makeover from the pretty basic concrete.

I can only imagine that it will, but the artistic impressions just airbrush over all the detail of what the spirals might look like etc.

I would like to think we can rival the Emirates for great stadiums. Not quite there yet, but hopefully will be in 18 months or so.

someone itk may know but from plans it just looks like they will stay as they are with some sort of wrapping covering some of the concrete.

it'd be awesome to see that if / when CB and East are expanded that the entire outer of the stadium could be a continuation of the North and South external glass, with some LED bulbs in the external cladding, the same sort of thing around Lille's stadium would look amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgJs3hPBx7E

Could be interesting to see some sort of interactive LED design like this which fluctuates with crowd noise

Sorry, previously posted in the wrong thread.

A casino is again being mooted. Not in its previous form or footprint, however.

Perhaps under the umbrella of the hotel and wider leisure facility.

We will also be getting a Hakkasan :)

I like it when Tolmie pops this thread back on the hob.

Good coup to bring in Hakkasan, looking at it's other locations:

Hanway Place
Mayfair
Mumbai
Abu Dhabi
New York
San Francisco
Beverly Hills
Las Vegas
Dubai
Doha
Miami
Shanghai
Bradford, East Manchester

There were also rumours of Jamie Oliver opening a 15 restaurant (fits in with the local community element too).
Might be able to check that in a couple of weeks.

The Global Village 'esque' idea sounds interesting, but there's a fair amount of polystyrene and bolder wood builds in evidence...

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

I'm not idk but do reckon they will "fill in the corners" and improve the fassade when they expand colin bell and east stands. I imagine eventually the whole stadium will be same height etc. all the way round, be symmetrical and be approx 80k capacity.

HRH Mansour won't settle for second best, we will have the best stadium in the world before long (not saying biggest) and for that the east and CB stands need to be expanded, not up but certainly out as the hospitality etc. is too small. It's a wonderfully designed stadium but it isn't that spacious for hospitality, just all very well planned out to get most out of the space available.

I doubt Mansour will settle for "well planned out", we will expand the outside of these stands, similar to what is happening at the South stand now, at some point and probably fill in the corners. It wouldn't surprise me if this is already being planned out but probably fair few years, certainly after North Stand done, and possibly collar site too, before we get to hear of it.
