Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

If it ends up looking like that for real, I think most people will be happy.
But artistic impressions do tend to look better than the reality.

I think if the new ends add more glass, then that will effectly just leave 4 near corners (two each on CB and East Stand) plus the spirals to make over.

I'm being overly critical I know, it's just the drab unfinished concrete isn't very flattering, and I think it could be improved. With some fantastic lighting too, it could make the difference between 'impressive' and 'stunning'.

I've still not seen a definitive answer to explain if enhancements will be made to the finish or not. (I'm talking about the rest of the facade and lighting, rather than the new ends, which, if accurately depicted, will feature lots of glass),

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

Except we don't make any noise so it'd be wasted ;)

plus if you were the guy that programmes the sequence, you wouldn't slightly want to send a message across the city?

like those in-car LED scrollers .... saw one full of City fans that read "Look, we are in front of you now Rags" ..... we wouldn't be able to resist lol

.....

the helter-skelters would get in the way though, you need a complete wra-a-round stadium for those don't you?

Exactly. The ground is three quarters empty on match days. everyone knows that. Have a look on RAWK or Red Cafe, they'll confirm it.

I think if we add a 90's style scoreboard to the stadium it will make us a massive club.
