Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Centurions]

What would we do with two stadiums ? And also thought the CFA was already too small where would a stadium go or do you mean it will go where ASDA is or where other business are

I think he's mentioned a new stadium eventually on the site of the CFA with the CFA moving over the road. The Asda site has also been mentioned as an expansion of the CFA as they apparently need the room.

The stadium expansion will be completed with the development of the E & W stands.

This will be undertaken in 2030.

The original intention was to have a capacity of 85000,just ahead of the 84000+ @Maine Road but that has proven to be unachievable.

The stadium will be wrapped at the conclusion of the NS and will be possibly be a world first ' Living Wall ' of Spungen Moss which is the most natural plant species for cleaning the environment/air.

Be aware also,that plans exist for the construction of a new stadium on the huge site of the CFA and the Asda site is still in the clubs crosshairs.

We've only just begun !!

More nonsense.

File this with great northern end and Centurions stand.

If we intend extending the east and west stands there is no chance we wrap the stadium before that work is complete.

 

[Centurions]

So the stadium wrapped within 3 years ?

They have to finish the NS and presumably the hotel complex first before starting on the wrap. No idea how long the wrap would take. Sounds like the E&W stands would be expanded within the wrap I'd guess given the 7 year start date.

It is possible as the wrap would be outside the spirals and the E&W stands and roof wouldn't extend beyond them?

It's 3 years when the hotel is finished so wrapped after that ?

You forgot to mention the 2 biggest parts of the plans, the log flume & the travelator

If you’re gonna do it, do it properly mate

Sounds like it, I'd forgotten what the hotel timescale was TBH.

Everything is possible, but it makes no sense to do it that way as you are massively increasing programmes periods and costs.

As far as I'm aware there are no talks with the clubs usual contractors about pricing a wrap.

7???

 

[bluesmith]

7???

Gone for a burton reckons we wrap the stadium at the conclusion of the north stand works in 3 years. Makes no sense to me.
