New York City FC proposal

Looks great, I know soccer specific stadiums in the US usually are around 25k but they are in areas where they’re can expand, this one gives Stamford Bridge vibes and possibly in 25 years will have outgrown it?

Better than the current alternative though.

Something like that at the Etihad would transform the stadium, it must be done, hopefully.

City are going green,hence the tree planting that has already commenced and the ecological scaping at the CFA.

You’re off your rocker mate.

As you’ve already said you’ll be dead before the new stadium is completed and before you find oot if I’m off my rocker*,perhaps you’d be better finding a thread that’s more relevant to your life span.

* Off your rocker....not heard that for a long time. I like it, do you know it’s origins ?

I'm very reluctant to say you don't know what you're talking about but...

In 50 years time The Etihad will be almost as old as Maine Road when we left it.

Remember It ? The Wembley of the North with a record attendance of 84000+.

At a point in time, I've been told 2070/75, a new ground WILL be built.

It is in the nature of our owner to plan long term and prepare early.

Open your mind to the art of the possible,you might enjoy it

That far in the future I can understand. Who knows what the future of watching football will be like. I wouldn't argue that in 50 years time they'll look to build a new stadium. But that's not really worth talking about at this time. No one currently involved in City will still be working on the project then!

It does if you were around that time and it definitely does if your talking about a new stadium in 2073!

Time, like age, is only a number.

Remember Blackburn A .....seems like yesterday !!
