Cheaper to build a new one Having spent upwards of £100m on South Stand it wouldn’t make sense to have to take the whole roof off build a structure to support a new sliding roofHaving just watched the Tyson Fury promote the fight at the spurs ground, it got me thinking ?
Would it have been better to revamp the Etihad stadium and put a sliding roof on and have a 70,000 stadium for everything
Yeah I am focused on us having the best stadium and surrounding area, the thread is called "
Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread"
I am not bothered about some of the banter on here as I am only interested in the stadium and the surrounding area as it brings jobs and investment into the area and also would bring money into city as a club, giving City the 12th man is what is needed as city fans we all get shouted down for the emptyhad jokes but as a fanbase, you don't help yourself. Look at JRB he is spot on in his comments but gets shouted down, he is right with what he says about the new North Stand development, he was in Copenhagen but got shouted down for saying that we need to copy their fans with an ultra section in the stadium. As a club, you need to look at what other teams are doing where their stadium and their surrounding areas for their fans, the Americans are miles ahead of us regarding this. So that's why I post stuff about the NFL and MLS. If there is info about the site then it needs to be posted here as and fans we can discuss it in a nice way not calling people out
Lift ours up to form the roof, give the grass a nice airing at the same time.Cheaper to build a new one Having spent upwards of £100m on South Stand it wouldn’t make sense to have to take the whole roof off build a structure to support a new sliding roof
Also Spurs have a pitch that slides out which wouldn’t be possible for us as it’s 7 meters below ground level

Glad you approve, it would make us unique.What a great idea, use the pitch as the roof for indoor events
The German standing areas have 18 fans standing for every 10 seats (apparently we take up more room when stood than sat.I wonder if anybody has calculated the capacity of our stadium without seats and and the old barriers on the terraces similar to maine rd in the 30’s?
The NFL average age is probably 40 plus - you don't see too many late teen / early 20's types there and if they are they will be in with "mom & pop"Now having been to the NFL and MLS both here and in the US I can tell you they don't have Ultra sections,
Genius! You should of sold that idea to the Qatari’sLift ours up to form the roof, give the grass a nice airing at the same time.
It's not so much the roof but the pitch too.Having just watched the Tyson Fury promote the fight at the spurs ground, it got me thinking ?
