Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

All we now is some grass !!!

Looks like there's a lot of work still to be done. And we haven't seen where we are up to fitting out all the concourses, lounges, toilets etc. Must be very hectic

I was passing the ground yesterday, no pics as it was throwing it down but the stand looks really massive (sorry) and the size of the cable supports don't half catch your eye.

I said those big poles sticking out would have somebodies eye out.

I'd love to see the middle tier decorated in blue/white seats like the bar scarf. We don't need MCFC on seats, we know what we are and everyone else too. As for Nike and Etihad, forget their logos. They keep it minimal on the boards they have. Let's have a mural of Sergio on seats in that end!!!

Absolutely fantastic idea imo! I think that would look brilliant!

that card display v Villaerreal which had similar idea was by far the best we've had imo.

how`s Ripley doing

OK - she is just "having a deep sleep" atm.

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' ;)

That looks amazing to be fair

Seems he made a reasonably fair comment about us not being able to fill it.
I'd ban the **** then circle his seat with a big red pen

[CITY FOR LIFE]

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.

 

[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.

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

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...

 

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

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.

 

[lancs blue]

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.
