Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

The German standing areas have 18 fans standing for every 10 seats (apparently we take up more room when stood than sat.
So for every 1,000 sat is 1,800 standing.....
5,000 is 9,000
10,000 is 18,000
So easy from that to work out what the capacity would be depending on how many seats you retain and the rest is standing
Did they not add rails to the original seats rather than install new rail seating? so its 1 to 1

I don't think so. May have done at Dortmund.
Bremen had fold up seats that were locked for domestic games.
Hamburg have seats that fold underneath the stand and Schalke have almost a terrace with lots of barriers and for Euro games the bring in removable seats.
They are the four grounds i visited
 
From the club....

City are hoping to start the groundwork on the NS expansion this summer.

Work can begin while the arena is still under construction.

It will not be a 1 tier kop. The club want to extend back from level 2 to create a huge atmospheric end, but depending on planning permission and costs would fall back on a SS replica with three tiers.

They will build a hotel into the stand, which would extend right back into City square and also include the club shop.

City are also procuring the old Mercedes garage, but I'm not aware of what the plans are for that site yet.

Interesting. Is this from a private discussion I take it?

Yes. We'll start to see traction on this in the new year.

The main issue right now is finding a workforce that can build the stand. Apparently, the arena construction has been delayed due to a shortage of workers. There are also tons of other developments going on around Manchester that amplify the issue.
