This has been on the cards for years hasn't it?
Be good to see some updated plans.

I was amazing to see how much regenerations is going on over at Victoria (not a few hundred million, more like a few billion).
Constantly surprised at the amount of projects and city's growth.

Tempered a little by the aforementioned lack of affordable rents/housing in many areas (which isn't unique to Manchester but it is a pricy city).

Why oh why can't some real thoughts and urban design land on the arse end of the Arndale/Piccadilly Gardens area.
It's a real let down that's also very central (and some of the first pockets of Manchester train visitors see from out main train station).

i hope there is one being done mate of the whole development as it would give us a real insight into how amazing it will look?

Just wondering, is there any potential to expand beyond the 59-63000 seats the north stand expansion would bring? Or would it be too expensive/unfeasible from a technical point of view?

Any substantial expansion over and above the current planned one would require the East and West stands to have an additional tier which would be a big challenge and also involved a large expense the issue is the roof design, ad the stadium was never designed for expansion

I think the little we've seen (whether official or not) the plan may be to expand the 3rd tiers back on the E & W stands with a new roof. Due to the slant of the steelwork that goes up the middle of the spirals it does give them a few more thousands of seats and would perhaps involve a wrap around the outside of the spirals.

Edit: whether it's financially viable is a different story entirely.
