Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Bluep*ss]

All in all this could ease some of the pressure of the added spectators when the capacity is increased to match demand for the biggest football stadium in the world, ok that's me dreaming lol, but having enough capacity to break our own attendance record easily would be a start

Trivia Question ? - Where do you think the World's biggest football stadium is ?.
Answer - from Wiki - North Korea - 150,000 - Pyonyang (?) -

That stadium is used more for political gatherings than for sport, so hopefully we wouldnt need one quite so big, 125K would suffice (hampden parks original capacity as I recall)

Was looking at the Sport City website recently
https://sportcity-manchester.com
and as well as all the sports catered for there is a mention of a Regional Casino & Entertainment Complex

Got me thinking what I would like to see being built on the collar site, theres been talk of hotels and shopping complexes.
What about an indoor Belle Vue? A mini theme park with big thrill rides as well as arcades containing the casino machines as well as video games. Call it EA world, showcasing all their latest games (a bit like the current EA gamezone, but on a so much grander scale) and have different areas for all the existing and historical consoles. A sort of gaming museum, could have guest appearances by our current e-sports players. It could have numerous indoor sports related attractions, using latest technology
Abu Dhabi have Ferrari World, an indoor theme park that was once the biggest in the world, overtaken by one in Dubaii, so it would be a bonus for Sheikh Mansoor to be linked with one to compete with all the other major indoor parks.
It would solve one of the main problems UK theme parks have, rain hampers our enjoyment of them for the majority of the summer.
We could even have an indoor event hall like the old Kings Hall, but make sure its bigger and better than all the other local ones.
Ir would definitely be an attraction to give the owners what they want, something to bring 365 days a year footfall to the campus and surrounding area

Anyone else have a dream as to what our fantastic owners can add to our already fantastic destination?

A bar that sells decent drinks at a reasonable price.

Was the casino not knocked back a few years ago?
