Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

The Olympic Tower is great with a very fast lift and revolving restaurant. Something similar next to the stadium would be amazing.

What I meant was I think it suits them the way the ground empties as it is. I can see both sides of the argument though as I always stay behind until the players start to leave the pitch but I've also previously got caught in the car park after a game by doing that and taken an hour to move ten yards.

We get ushered out in the south stand when they're still showing the highlights on the screens

Went to Munich for a few days for Oktoberfest.

Went to the Olympic Stadium/Park to have a look around.

Fantastic stadium, arenas, and park, which is very well maintained.

Next to the stadium is the Olympic viewing tower.

I decided not to go up the viewing tower (which I'll do the next time I go to Munich) as I went up the hill instead, which is the highest natural viewing point above Munich and affords great views of the city.

Looking at the viewing tower, it got me thinking that a viewing tower/platform would be a good addition to the Etihad Campus.(maybe?)

The views of the Etihad Stadium, the CFA, the city centre, it's skyline, and views across Gtr Manchester (weather permitting) would make a really good tourist attraction.

Whether a viewing tower/platform would be an expensive folly or actually be used by enough people to justify the cost of building it, and it makes money, is anyone's guess.

I went up the viewing tower a few years ago and the views over the Olympic Campus are sensational. Got lucky on a sunny day. It's interesting walking around the old Olympic Village too. Just a walk away for petrolheads is the BMW Museum

50 years old and the roof structures still make it look so modern and futuristic.

Such a nice park area too, unlike London, Rio, and Athens to name a few.

City Council still planning to extend residential parking zones to every day, not just "event days", including industrial areas, so that would take out a lot of street parking near the ground.

Love a panoramic meal over Asda.
