"The two buildings" as in the new stand and hotel ?

Looking towards Joe Mercer Way

Would make sense to put the Museum and/or souvenir shop to the right, the hotel to the left(soil testing on the Collar site), and the covered City Square Plaza in-between them both, with a central atrium that leads through the City Square Plaza to and from Joe Mercer Way, with access to the Museum and/or the souvenir shop and the hotel, as well as access to the expanded North stand.

The Cafe, Summerbee bar and large shelters are all going.

Well, the two buildings are part of the extended stand. Either side of a covered City square.

Didn't read that before posting the above.

*Part of the extended stand*.

Interesting.

So the North stand is going to fan out backwards to accommodate those buildings?

Which 'could' imply a larger level 2, rather than a smaller 3rd tier expansion, similar to the South stand?

I'm sure somebody posted the hotel and the conference centre are joined to the extended stand and come out from it as 2 wings with the covered plaza in beteween, rather than being built into the stand.

The footprint of an expanded level 2 or additional level 3 would be the same due to the cable net restrictions. The top of the tier needs to finish up at the same point in both instances to allow the net to feed through between the tier and the roof.

Maybe they’ll be twin towers on either side of, and joined up with, the new stand, creating an iconic visual. Would look great walking up Joe Mercer Way or coming from the tram stops. One tower contains a hotel and the other the shop & museum.

Like this on a bigger scale -

That makes sense.

It will be a travesty if the Etihad doesnt get an LED wrap or similar to the TCL

The Rostov Arena looks good with an LED wrap.

So the actual stand and roof pretty much stay the same, but are extended higher and further back, like the South stand, and the two buildings, the souvenir shop/museum and the hotel are incorporated seamlessly into the sides of the stand, fan outwards, and in-between those two buildings will be a linked and covered City Square?

Please tell me you still ain’t talking about a retractable roof !!! There is more chance of log flume.

Finally.
We're back on track.

Unfortunately no mention of a log flume so far.
