More car parking spots means more congestion around the ground, maybe have an incentive for fans who drive and don't Leave till an hour or 2 after a game is finished? Like discount on food beer % of tickets for concerts at the new arena?
Desperado indeed ;)Heard the same and came on here to post what I’d been told this week.
A friend of mine works for a company that provides tradesmen for the works and he told me it’s been beset by problems and more than one of the building companies involved (smaller ones) presumably have gone bust.
I asked him, jokingly, if it would be sorted for May 31st when I go to see the Eagles and he said currently the biggest issue is the lighting and that strips of it are falling down.
Take with a pinch of salt obviously
The days of cars around the campus must be coming to an end, all parties need to sort out the public transport system and make it fit for purpose.

I'm working on this job at the moment, have been for about a month. To say it's a little behind schedule is an under statement - it's not even close. Strips of lighting falling down is not true though, and to be fair doesn't even make sense? Are the lights stuck up with gaffer tape or something? You think they'd use screws these days on a new build. From what I'm told there have been huge delays from the off as you say. Client is adamant it will open on schedule, and it probably will to a fashion - but it's anyone's guess as to how much of it will be fully operational. It will be a great venue once complete though.Heard the same and came on here to post what I’d been told this week.

Fair enough, you definitely speak from a position of experience. He was adamant there was an issue with lighting though - probably dumbed it down for an idiot like me!

We got 99 problems but the lights ain't one.
Honestly, there are plenty of issues to be resolved, but lights mysteriously falling down are not one of them.

I've been waiting for this TBH, there's no way just given the photos posted on here that it was ever likely to be 100% when the first act is due.
